Ji Xing and Ru Mu in Qimen: Separate Structural Flags

Overview
Ji Xing and Ru Mu are different formula-driven conditions. Ji Xing matches a specified stem or instrument with a palace; Ru Mu matches a supported stem with its declared tomb palace. Neither should be inferred from mood or wording. Use only the formulas and stem roster explicitly supported by the named method. Emit condition name, triggering stem, source layer, palace, and formula identifier so a reviewer can reproduce the flag.

How the rule is formed or checked
Use only the formulas and stem roster explicitly supported by the named method. Emit condition name, triggering stem, source layer, palace, and formula identifier so a reviewer can reproduce the flag.
Keep the cast moment, UTC offset, method version, palace, and interacting symbols visible before adopting an interpretation.
How to use this in a reading
Read Ji Xing as friction, self-conflict, or constrained execution and Ru Mu as containment, storage, or reduced expression, then test whether other layers repeat that exact operational problem.
- Name the visible chart fact before assigning symbolic meaning.
- Compare the asker and matter anchors with every layer in their palaces.
- Record at least one supporting condition and one counter-signal.
- End with a reversible action and an observable review point.
Worked contrast
A stored archive intentionally placed under access control can fit containment without being harmful. A deadline-critical approval trapped in an inactive queue makes the same containment operationally costly.
Common mistake and limit
Do not expand the condition table from memory, combine school-variable formulas, or translate “tomb” into literal death. Unsupported patterns remain absent until an exact source and positive and negative fixtures exist.
