Line statement
上六
冥豫成，有渝无咎。
Lost in pleasure. Even after it has taken hold, a change of course brings no fault.
The top line has become absorbed in pleasure, but the text leaves room to correct that settled habit. Changing Line 6 to firm turns upper thunder into fire and produces Hexagram 35.
Computed position
How this place works
- Trigram position
- outer · boundary
Line 6 is the boundary of the outer trigram.
- Polarity and place
- yin in an even place: aligned
Its yin polarity matches the traditional even-place convention.
- Correspondence
- Line 3: same polarity
Its counterpart is Line 3; the two share a polarity, so this structural correspondence is not responsive.
