Length and Measurement Casting
This guide explains length and measurement casting: which inputs count, how they map to a hexagram and moving line, and whether OpenFate currently supports the method.
Volume One distinguishes zhang–chi and chi–cun rules: the larger unit forms the upper trigram, the next unit the lower; their sum determines the line, while smaller fractions are excluded under the stated rule.
Do not silently convert historical units into modern metres and then claim the same integer inputs. Record the unit system and rounding policy; this method is knowledge-only in OpenFate.
Declare the casting method before calculating. Record the question, permitted inputs, represented instant and timezone when relevant, pre-modulo totals, remainder mapping, line order, and methodology version.
How does Length and Measurement Casting work?
Explain Length and Measurement Casting, reproduce its check, and identify the point where evidence ends.
How can you verify Length and Measurement Casting?
Reproduce Length and Measurement Casting from the recorded inputs, then label the result under the page's primary topic, “length and measurement casting.” Preserve the first reading and disconfirming evidence before revising it.
What does Length and Measurement Casting include and exclude?
Use Length and Measurement Casting for this topic's definition, rule, reproducible check, source scope, and stopping condition. These pieces belong together because each limits how the answer should be read.
What are the limits of Length and Measurement Casting?
Use the result as a structured hypothesis. Keep observable evidence, uncertainty, and a reversible next action beside it.
What evidence supports Length and Measurement Casting?
Length and Measurement Casting cites 2 sources only for the claims each source can support. Primary transcriptions establish transmitted wording; scholarship and bibliography establish history; OpenFate code establishes current repository behavior only.
