"Cracked"

A Code Cracked by C.J.Lofting There is no "solution" to the King Wen Sequence here.

That page confuses me, so it could be a hoax. To "crack" has many meanings, just like "hack". In this case, it means trying to figure out something, even if it doesn't seem to be a riddle, even if it doesn't seem to need solving or decyphering. He mentions the traditional sequence is "1,43,14,34,9,5,26,11", which "seemingly" has nothing to do with binary, but then goes into how the numbering is logical - which is really long that I can't explain or shorten... Well, here is two quotes:

"From this process I have been able to determine that the traditional sequence reflects ALCHEMY with a distinct semantic emphasis on PURE - MIXED"

"Since the moon is also seasonal (as in four to eight phases are used to identify the cycle) so its cycle will map into the I Ching (note that the 384 lines = number of days in a lunar year (13 months))" {sjöar}

"Ancient 384 day calendar" disputed

http://selmarie.com/jackrabbit Explication of the I Ching Portions of The Invisible Landscape by Terence and Dennis McKenna, by Dicky Zyetz (a.k.a. Jack Rabbit ?) thoroughly exposits the notion of a 384 day calendar. J Shirk (talk) 22:31, 7 November 2009 (UTC)

"Why"

"There are no instances in which five lines change" this is worth further explanation. Would some kind mathematician expand this please. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lethargicandstupid (talk • contribs) 12:47, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

Mathematical structure

A number of articles on the internet reveal more clear mathematical structures in the KW sequence.

I propose to add a few lines about it under the Notable Characteristics header, and add them as cite "Notes". The article needs more footnotes to become better.

Suggested additions:

"The number of possible different arrangements of the 32 partner pairs is 32! = 2.63 * 10^35 .
There is clear evidence for a mathematical structure in the sequence. Several clusters of hexagrams point to a careful arrangement rather than a random distribution. .
The placement of certain hexagrams also suggests that the geography of China, as traversed from North to South, may have served as a model for the King Wen sequence "
