Both these pictures are taken in South Oak Bay in Greater Victoria.
One of these pathways defines harmonious chi and other chi out of balance that is called “*sha chi.”
*Sha chi is considered to have an influence like a secret arrow and in Chinese Philosophy one would consider shifting it into a more harmonious experience.

- 8 Trigrams & 64 Hexigrams became a discovery of something implicit in the cosmic order

These 8 trigrams are the building blocks of 64 hexagrams that display every possible combination of these lines. It was the first of these sequences that led the 17th century father of calculus, Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz to discover the functioning of the binary system. A Jesuit priest, who was based in China, showed the configuration to Leibniz, who investigated further and discovered that if the value of 0 were attributed to each solid line, and the value of 1 to each broken line, it would give the binary notation for the numbers 0 through to 63. The uncovering of the binary code allowed Leibniz to change the path of mathematics for all time. The I Ching is therefore the earliest known example of binary notation, this being the smallest complete arithmetic number system as well as the language that enables computers to work.
