I like to start a new topic suggested by these posts from another topic:   Wandelaar:   Michael Sternbach:   Wandelaar:   Michael Sternbach:   The purpose of this topic is exploring ways to test whether or not working with the I Ching shows patterns in the found hexagrams that are impossible to explain when the hexagrams that turn up are purely random. This topic is expressly not about belief or disbelief or anecdotal evidence! So please don't spam this topic to death as happened with previous topics of mine. If you are not interested in exploring systematic ways to test the I Ching than please leave us alone.
