Overview
Kong Wang marks the two branches absent from the active ten-day Xun and the palaces associated with them. It qualifies availability or manifestation; it does not delete every symbol in that palace. Derive void branches from the relevant pillar Xun, map branches to palaces with the declared table, and record which anchor palace is affected. The pillar basis must be explicit because different contexts can use different Xun.

How the rule is formed or checked
Derive void branches from the relevant pillar Xun, map branches to palaces with the declared table, and record which anchor palace is affected. The pillar basis must be explicit because different contexts can use different Xun.
Keep the cast moment, UTC offset, method version, palace, and interacting symbols visible before adopting an interpretation.
How to use this in a reading
When an anchor is void, ask what is absent, delayed, nominal, uncommitted, or not yet observable. Keep its element relations and co-located symbols visible so the direction of a possibility is not lost.
- 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 void offer palace with signed documents is not “nonexistent”; it may instead identify a missing dependency such as funding or approval. Real records narrow which void interpretation remains plausible.
Common mistake and limit
Do not use Kong Wang to declare a person absent, a pregnancy unreal, a contract invalid, or an outcome cancelled. Verify legal status, health, identity, and records directly.
