Numogramming the Yi Jing Vauung's Lair

A Vauung page that maps the Yi Jing onto the numogram, turning hexagrams into numerical routes through the labyrinth.

Start with paragraph 5.

Start with paragraph 5.

Why this work matters

That matters because it demonstrates the numogram's portability across symbolic systems and explains why later experimenters keep returning to it.

Then and now

Why this mattered then

On 11 July 2012, Vauung opened a provisional comment-space because an "oddity threshold" had been crossed [c10][c3]. The thread turned Yi Jing hexagrams into routes through the Hex circuit [c3]. Northanger and MrLitch then tested line order, binary notation, and zone assignments in public [c0][c2]. That mattered in the post-CCRU aftermath because numogrammatics shifted from lore to demonstrable procedure, where "systematic coherence ultimately trumps tradition" [c6].

Why it matters now

July 2012 records the numogram as a live procedure, not a settled emblem [c1]. The dispute over whether "Hexagram 23 = 000001" turns on binary sequence [c10]. One line states the rule without ornament: "Compliance with numerical consistency overrides all other considerations" [c8]. That bears on the present because Urbanomic now recirculates the numogram as "numerical methodology," alongside CCRU conceptwear and the return of CCRU Writings 1997-2003 [https://www.urbanomic.com/event/doin-it-for-the-gram/][https://www.urbanomic.com/event/urbanomic-conceptwear-ts/][https://www.urbanomic.com/book/ccru-writings-1997-2003/].

How to read this

For Numogramming the Yi Jing Vauung's Lair, follow the mapping procedure step by step instead of leaping to the metaphysical implications too early.

For Numogramming the Yi Jing Vauung's Lair, read it alongside the zone entries. The page is strongest when the abstract map is linked back to individual numerical traits.

Argument map

  • Primary claim

    The page matters because it shows numogramming as a live practice rather than a closed doctrine. Divinatory pattern and decimal routing are made to interlock.

  • The work's mechanism

    Mapping is the mechanism. Hexagram values, line structures, and digital reductions are translated into zone positions and currents.

  • What this work claims

    That matters because it demonstrates the numogram's portability across symbolic systems and explains why later experimenters keep returning to it.

Style and mode

Essay / text work

Numogramming the Yi Jing Vauung's Lair works best when read as compressed scene-writing: argument, terminology, and style arrive together rather than in separate academic stages.

Publication context

Vauung’s Yi Jing diagramming sits inside the CCRU numogram complex later described by Urbanomic as part of the recovery of the Numogram and Lemurian time-sorcery [w4]. Its procedure, routing hexagrams through numerical passages, matches later accounts of the numogram as a constructed methodology with occult and diagrammatic functions, rather than a literary ornament [w5].

Key passage

These steps correspond to the lines of the hexagram, and to the time-circuit zones of the Numogram, producing a binodecimal 6-Cycle vauung says: 2012/07/11 at 14:59 … sorry to be repetitive (it’s more of a rehearsal), but you can see why your distribution of the 64 hexagrams across the entire space of the Numogram is initially disconcerting.

Definition · paragraph 5

The hexagram is the linear model of a circuit — or double circuit (1,2,4 … 8,7,5), twin trigrams — which comprehends time even as it excludes the outer zones (0,3,6,9) as a hyper-temporal triadic Abomenon. (The tacit assimilation of zero to trinity is itself a substantial occult discovery.) Thus, the Yi Jing clearly demonstrates that the Chaotic Xenodemons do not participate in time.

change and then relate those to the geomantic figures for each trigram, giving 2 geomantic figures for each trigtram and 4 for every hexagram(of course that’s unnecessary cluster fucking and it wouldn’t help, but it might be fun) Sorry, I’m no expert on the Yi-Jing, in fact my initial reasons for pestering northanger was that I wanted to learn it through it’s interaction with the numogram.
