Tai Hsuan Ching Animation

[MythMath]

Here's a rough clip showing the chronological
movement through the 81 tetragrams...

The center glyph I'm calling the Lo Shu Diamond,
and in this case it's being used to demonstrate the cycles of 9...

It could also be implemented to track the 729 tsan...

very nice MM...if possible I'd like to see a standard flash file on this one set to loop to infinity...I'd like to be able to watch this one do its thing for awhile without having to go to YouTube...

we can do flash attachments now btw...

ultimately a little bigger would probably be a good thing as well. People are new to the 81 Tetragrams and they are a little hard to make out at their current size...

Can I do flash stuff with photoshop/imageready...?

Or do I need special software (freeware)...?
___________________________

This clip looks much better pre-youtube...

I'm working on one that shows polar pairs traveling both
directions and 'passing thru each other' midway at the apex...

IOW, the 81 micro/fractal of the entire 729 'daily events'...

you can only edit frames one at a time in photoshop. to build an animated gif you need to switch over to imageready and then save your finished compilation as an swf file. if you set up your animated files in their own folder you can then import the entire folder into imageready, formatted for an animation. make sure to start your numbers 001-999 since Adobe has a glitch it has never seen fit to resolve where imageready will automatically scramble your files so that 111 and 11 will immediately follow 1 before going to 2 etc...a really dumbass annoyance they seem hell bent on retaining. But other than that imageready is a fairly decent gif editor...a little complicated at points but it gets the job done with better pixel rendering than most other affordable editors.

I always check swf files in a standalone swf player before publishing. there's a few free ones out there that do a good job. I'm using Swiff these days but there's a handful of decent free players available.

yeah..the larger size is sweet...much easier to study...

THC LSD - five & dime

http://i133.photobucket.com/albums/q48/MythMath/LSD5and10graphcopy.jpg


Nine Lives


The 9 gold points in the center represent the Lo Shu Diamond (LSD)...

'5' is clearly central here, and orbiting around it are the other
eight digits, each arranged in opposition to its own polar twin...

The highest (#9) opposing the lowest (#1),
next #8 opposes #2 and so...

Each pair of twins adds to 10 and averages out to 5...
___________________

A remarkably similar thing occurs in the slightly more
complex fractal realm of the Tai Hsuan Ching (THC)...

The 81 points represent the 81 tetragrams of the THC,
arranged in chronological order, with the white being the YANG,
the grey being the JEN and the black being the YIN elements...

The polar pairs, again oppose each other, this time in a palindromic spiraldance,
with #01 across from #81, #02 with #80, #03 and #79, etc. etc. etc...

Each of the 40 sets of tetratwins also add (or reduce) to 10 and average out to 5...

The remaining central apex tetragram (#41) adds to 5...

______________


This relationship is constant and scalar, and therefore equally
applicable from the nine ternary bigrams up to
(and beyond) the entire set of 729 ternary hexagrams...

Btw, the central apex hexagram is #365...



Hail Abraxas... :p




{btw, turn me on dead man, this is post #9...}

Put another nickel in...


I've
got five
on the mind
after the nine shrine


One more trivial observation
regarding the diagram in post #9:

Start at #01 and count up 5 points toward the
apex, you'll be at #11, up 5 more and you're at #31,
up still 5 more and you've reached the summit at #41...

This pattern continues all the way around the entire perimeter...

Also, if you follow the path of the "x1" series through chronologically
(i.e. 01, 11, 21, 31,...), you'll see that they roll in a similar spiral pattern
that the individual numbers follow as they weave through the three realms..
