Have you noticed certain hexagrams recur through different transformations?

While working with hexagram transformations, I noticed that some hexagrams tend to reappear through different transformation paths — not by accident, but structurally.

Have you ever observed that certain hexagrams seem to “answer back” across different forms of change?

Hi. What hexagram transformations have you been using? Can you share some particular observations?

Good question Aasin. I was using rotate, swap, flip and flip+ (flip-with-inverse) transformations on three structural levels of hexagrams - monogram-, digram- and trigram levels. It shows a clear patterns of recurring and it is not an accident.

This recurrence phenomenon occurs with many hexagrams.
For example, when working with Hexagram #11 — Peace, a small group of hexagrams consistently emerges through different transformation families:

  • #12 — Standstill
  • #18 — Corruption
  • #53 — Development

These are not interpretive associations, but structural results produced at different transformation levels.

I’ve started calling such forms Resonant Hexagrams — hexagrams that echo across different layers of transformation,
revealing shared structural qualities rather than linear meaning.

I’m curious how others experience this.

When you see these four hexagrams together — Peace, Standstill, Corruption, and Development — what common structural or experiential thread do you sense?
