Evidence Boundaries for Bazi Strength Assessment (旺衰判斷的證據邊界)
Define which chart facts can support a Bazi strength conclusion, how to expose model choices and uncertainty, and which life claims remain outside the evidence.
Overview
Evidence boundaries for Bazi strength separate reproducible chart inputs and declared interpretive rules from conclusions those inputs cannot establish. Valid structural evidence includes calculated pillars, solar-term timing, Month Command, roots, exposure, hidden stems, support, drain, control, and verified interactions under a named method. It does not establish medical status, legal outcomes, financial returns, relationship facts, personality value, or scientific causation.
At a glance

- Structural evidence
- Season, roots, exposure, support, drain, and interactions
- Method evidence
- Named tables, weights, thresholds, and versions
- Required output
- Conclusion, counterevidence, uncertainty, and provenance

- Medical, legal, financial, and guaranteed life outcomes
- Status
- Traditional interpretive model, not scientific measurement
Start with reproducible chart inputs
Record birth time, place, time zone, calendar conversion, solar-term boundary, and the resulting pillars. Input uncertainty must remain visible in downstream conclusions.
A strength label cannot be more precise than the chart calculation it depends on. Near-boundary cases should expose alternate results where material.
- Preserve calculation provenance.
- Propagate meaningful input uncertainty.
Separate chart facts from interpretive rules
A root or exposed stem is a chart fact under a declared mapping; the weight assigned to it is a method choice. Store those layers separately.
Name hidden-stem tables, transformation gates, school-specific thresholds, and scoring versions so another reader can reproduce or disagree with the interpretation.
- Label observation and interpretation separately.
- Version every non-obvious rule.
Publish counterevidence and calibrated confidence
A useful conclusion shows the main supporting evidence, the strongest opposing evidence, the adopted classification, and unresolved ambiguity.
When methods disagree or the chart sits near a threshold, present the range rather than manufacturing a decisive percentage or universal answer.
- Include counterevidence.
- Use confidence appropriate to the record.
Keep unsupported life claims outside the result
Strong and weak are internal technical labels. They do not prove resilience, illness, intelligence, morality, relationship quality, wealth, legal risk, or future events.
OpenFate presents Bazi as interpretive cultural material. Consequential decisions require current evidence and qualified professional support where appropriate.
- No scientific or professional-advice substitution.
- Do not convert structure into guaranteed outcomes.
