Casting from a Person or Appearance
This guide explains casting from a person or appearance: which inputs count, how they map to a hexagram and moving line, and whether OpenFate currently supports the method.
Person-based casting is a knowledge-only historical observation method. It may classify visible direction, movement, clothing color, carried objects, or a declared count through traditional trigram correspondences, but it cannot establish identity, character, health, consent, or hidden intent.
Record only observable features needed by the named rule, obtain consent where a person is involved, and separate observation from inference. Reject any reading that converts appearance into a sensitive trait or private-state claim.
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 Casting from a Person or Appearance work?
Explain Casting from a Person or Appearance, reproduce its check, and identify the point where evidence ends.
How can you verify Casting from a Person or Appearance?
Reproduce Casting from a Person or Appearance from the recorded inputs, then label the result under the page's primary topic, “casting from a person or appearance.” Preserve the first reading and disconfirming evidence before revising it.
What does Casting from a Person or Appearance include and exclude?
Use Casting from a Person or Appearance 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 Casting from a Person or Appearance?
Do not claim another person’s hidden feelings, identity, conduct, or consent. Reframe the question around interactions the querent can observe and choices they control.
What evidence supports Casting from a Person or Appearance?
Casting from a Person or Appearance cites 3 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.
