Case Method for Three-Combination Frames
Test San He frames through canonical members, central branch, completeness, season, roots, partial forms, transformation, overlap, and timing.
Overview
A Three-Combination Frame case starts with one canonical birth-prosperity-storage set and identifies the central prosperity branch. It distinguishes the complete trio, birth-half combination, storage-half combination, arching inference, and a member supplied by timing. Completeness, elemental dominance, and transformation are separate findings. A frame does not guarantee unity, partnership, wealth, family events, or the literal outcome suggested by its element.
At a glance
- Canonical sets
- Shen-Zi-Chen, Hai-Mao-Wei, Yin-Wu-Xu, and Si-You-Chou
- Central branch
- Zi, Mao, Wu, or You anchors the elemental direction
- States
- Complete frame, birth half, storage half, arching, or timed completion
- Separate tests
- Membership, completeness, dominance, and transformation
- Overlaps
- Clash, Six Harmony, punishment, harm, break, or meeting frame
- Not implied
- Unity, partnership, wealth, family event, or favourable outcome
Verify members and central branch
Identify the canonical set, actual members, central prosperity branch, pillar positions, layers, season, roots, and hidden stems.
Do not insert a missing branch as if present. Arching and later completion must remain explicitly inferred or time-bounded.
- List only real members.
- Label partial and timed forms.
Separate completeness from dominance
Classify complete trio, birth-half, storage-half, or arching form, then independently test whether the target element becomes dominant.
Keep original branch functions and competing elements unless the adopted transformation conditions are met.
- Use two separate decisions.
- Do not equate completion with transformation.
Resolve overlapping relations and damage
Map clashes, harmonies, punishments, harms, breaks, and meeting frames sharing the members, along with roots and seasonal support.
A missing or damaged member can weaken, redirect, or suspend the pathway; no slogan settles every case.
- Preserve the relation graph.
- State the exact damage mechanism.
Avoid literal group stories
A Three-Combination Frame does not prove cooperation, family unity, alliances, money, marriage, conception, or a three-person event.
Use direct facts for people and outcomes, and treat the frame as a bounded structural model.
- No group-event prediction.
- No favourable-outcome guarantee.
