Dice-like apparatus and method for consulating the I Ching

A method for selecting lines of I Ching hexagrams, comprising:

• (a) providing a dice-like means capable of producing randomly four distinct outcomes in a relative frequency distribution 1:3:5:7,
• (b) specifying that the outcome with probability one in sixteen is equivalent to an old yin line;
• that the outcome with probability three in sixteen is equivalent to an old yang line;
• that the outcome with probability five in sixteen is equivalent to a young yang line;
• and that the outcome with probability seven in sixteen is equivalent to a young yin line,
• (c) manipulating said dice-like means in order to produce one of said outcomes, noting said outcome, and recording said line type,
• (d) repeating step (c) a pre-determined number of times in order to construct a six-line I Ching hexagram,
• whereby said hexagram will be constructed in accordance with the statistical principles of the I Ching, and
• whereby an I Ching user can discover heretofore obscured order in the I Ching.
