Computed position
How this place works
- Trigram position
- inner · base
Line 1 is the base of the inner trigram.
- Polarity and place
- yin in an odd place: not aligned
Its yin polarity does not match the traditional odd-place convention.
- Correspondence
- Line 4: same polarity
Its counterpart is Line 4; the two share a polarity, so this structural correspondence is not responsive.
