Mathematical Analysis of the King Wen Permutation in I Ching Hexagram Orderings
The article presents a mathematical analysis of the King Wen permutation, which maps between the two canonical orderings of the 64 I Ching hexagrams. The permutation's cycle decomposition reveals a pattern of [52, 10, 2] with zero fixed points, indicating that 81% of hexagrams are in one large orbit, suggesting the reordering is highly coupled rather than co
