Case Method for Three-Meeting Frames
Test San Hui seasonal frames through consecutive members, completeness, seasonal direction, dominance, overlap, timing, and interpretation limits.
Overview
A Three-Meeting Frame case identifies one of the four consecutive seasonal branch sets and verifies which members are actually present. It separates full membership from elemental dominance and from any school-specific partial-meeting rule. Season, roots, hidden stems, clashes, harmonies, punishments, and timing can strengthen or disrupt the pathway. A meeting frame does not prove social meetings, teamwork, crowds, travel, family gatherings, or favourable events.
At a glance
- Canonical sets
- Yin-Mao-Chen, Si-Wu-Wei, Shen-You-Xu, and Hai-Zi-Chou
- Structure
- Three consecutive seasonal branches
- Separate tests
- Membership, completeness, dominance, and any partial rule
- Context
- Season, roots, hidden stems, overlap, damage, and chart layer
- Timing
- A timed member completes the set only for its valid period
- Not implied
- Meeting, teamwork, crowds, travel, gathering, or good fortune
Confirm the exact seasonal set
Identify the canonical three consecutive branches, actual members, pillar positions, chart layers, season, roots, and hidden stems.
Do not replace Three Meeting with a Three Combination set or infer a missing member as natal.
- Use the canonical member table.
- Keep inferred members out of the chart.
Test completeness and dominance separately
First determine whether all required members coexist; then assess whether their shared element commands the chart under the adopted method.
Partial-meeting rules are school-dependent and must be named. Full membership still does not automatically erase each branch’s original functions.
- Make two explicit decisions.
- Preserve branch-level evidence.
Audit disruption and competing frames
Map clashes, Six Harmonies, punishments, harms, breaks, Three Combinations, roots, and seasonal reinforcement that share the members.
Report coexistence or redirection rather than automatically cancelling the weaker-sounding relation.
- Keep one relation graph.
- Explain priority with conditions.
Do not literalize meeting
Three Meeting is a seasonal branch structure, not evidence of a social meeting, team, crowd, reunion, travel, or collective event.
Real-world group and movement claims require direct information and cannot be guaranteed by timing.
- No gathering prediction.
- No social stereotype.
