Thanks! Speaking of 'neatness', I just pushed an update that lets you generate a visual Result Card of your reading. So now you can get a nice downloadable souvenir of that Gaussian-distributed hexagram. :D

Thank you! That means a lot coming from someone who appreciates the probability mechanics behind it. Since you have experience with the actual stalks, I think you'll like the update I just pushed: I’ve fully integrated the classic Wilh

OP here with a massive update! I spent the last 24 hours implementing the feedback from this thread. Thank you all for the harsh (but fair) critique. 1. Ditched AI for the Classics Many of you pointed out that AI interpretations felt "

Spot on! This is exactly why a simple Math.random() > 0.5 binary flip isn't enough for a proper simulation.You are right that we are mathematically dealing with base-4 logic (6, 7, 8, 9), not just base-2.While there are only 64 hexa

Thanks for pointing this out! I probably stared at it for too long on my own monitor and got used to it. I will bump up the contrast in the next update to ensure it's readable for everyone.

That's a really cool fact about the archaeology! To be honest, my reason for picking this method was simple: I was reading a book about the I Ching that described the different ways to cast hexagrams. The Yarrow Stalk method stood out

You are right—there is no detailed text yet. To be honest, I haven't added it because I'm hesitating. I planned to use AI to generate the interpretations, but I'm not sure if that's a good idea. I feel like letting AI ex

OP here. This discussion is exactly why I implemented the Box-Muller transform! You are right that humans don't split perfectly randomly (Uniform Distribution). We tend to aim for the middle but miss slightly. In my code, I modeled thi
