I have discovered a way to use the I Ching's figures arithmetically

Hi all,I'm new to this forum and to the I Ching, but I've been lucky enough to find out some new and exciting things about it.The figures can be combined in a way shown in this picture, which includes several examples:https://i.imgur.com/E2dgK30.jpgThis produces a middle figure which perhaps describes the change, or difference, between the two figures on the left and right. Notice what the middle figure is doing to the one on the left in order to produce the one on the right: yin has no effect, whereas yang causes the line position to invert. This is the basic operation, but I've found some more things which I've written about in a reddit post (https://www.reddit.com/r/iching/comm..._my_depressed/). It's a long post, but hopefully soon I'll be capable of being more succinct. At the moment I'm really lacking the language and terminology to talk about this properly but hopefully people more familiar than me with the I Ching can glean something useful. If you do have any thoughts, I would love to hear them. I sincerely hope this community finds this method helpful and enjoyable. I would recommend playing around with it by testing different combinations, and finding the "medium figures" for your own oracles/divinations. Thanks for readingPhil
