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