I CHING

"The Original Binary Code"

In all things, change is the only constant. Centuries before the dawn of modern computing, ancient thinkers used Yin (0) and Yang (1) to construct a logical model of the world. This primordial algorithm helps you identify patterns to gain clarity in moments of uncertainty.

Fuxi (The Visionary)
The first to map the patterns of nature into basic symbols.
King Wen (The Architect)
Expanded the system into 64 complex Hexagrams.
Confucius (The Scholar)

The Philosophy of Balance
