Correcting the Formula: Unveiling the True Map of Time and Space

Fig. 1: Teamwork

Imagine a team working on a project where success hinges on a simple calculation: 2+3. One teammate insists the answer is 6, but the truth is 5. The problem isn’t the teammate—it’s the formula itself, which is wrong. To ensure the project succeeds, the team must correct the formula to 2+3=5, applying the truth to get accurate results. This scenario reflects a deeper issue between two ancient systems meant to guide us through life’s rhythms: the I Ching and the Drum’s Circle-Square Dao. Both use a set of symbols to map time and space, but one relies on a flawed formula, causing confusion in practices like decision making, Feng Shui, Fortune telling, and divination. Let’s examine their formulas to find the true map.

Energy Level

The I Ching, an ancient Chinese system, and the Circle-Square Dao, encoded on the 2500-Year-Old Ngoc Lu Bronze Drum of Vietnam, both use the same 8 trigrams – symbols made of three lines, either solid or broken, representing nature’s forces. These trigrams act like a map, showing how time (seasons, hours) and space (directions, positions) flow in harmony with the universe’s rhythm, called the Dao, our conscious energy, the infinite source of all things. To find the correct map, we’ll calculate the trigrams’ energy levels and position them logically on the Map, according to the times of the day and seasons of the year.

It is easy, anyone can do this as every trigram is in fact a binary number that is also its energy level when converted to the decimal value. This fact is not recognized by anyone until today.

Fig. 2: Calculate the Energy Level of the Trigrams

To calculate the energy of the trigram, we just need to know that the solid line is binary number 1 and the broken line, 01The linkage between Trigram, Hexagram (combination of 2 Trigrams) and the binary was first discovered by Leibniz, the father of the modern Binary system in the early 18th century. Fascinated by the binary numeral system, Leibniz noted the correspondence between Broken line-Yin, Solid Line-Yang and binary. In his published works (Explication de l’Arithmétique Binaire , 1703) and correspondence, Leibniz suggested that if he substituted zero for the broken line, the number 1 for the solid line, then 64 hexagrams were exactly 64 binary numbers from 0 to 63..

Turning the leftmost number clockwise, the trigram Cấn (Mountain, ☶) will become 001. This binary 001 is equal decimal number 1. So, Cấn’s energy level is 1. Similarly, Tốn (Wind, ☴) is binary 011 that has decimal value or the energy level of 3.

Fig. 3: The Energy Level of the 8 Trigrams

Therefore, each trigram’s energy level is based on its solid lines. Converting the binary to decimal, we’ll arrive at result as shown on the above figure, specifically:

  • Càn (☰), with three solid lines, has energy level of 7.
  • Its opposite, Khôn (☷), with three broken lines, is 0.
  • The other trigrams fall between these extremes: Đoài (Lake, ☱) energy is 6; Li (Fire, ☲) is 5; Chấn (Thunder, ☳) is 4; Tốn (Wind, ☴) is 3; Khảm (Water, ☵) is 2; and Cấn (Mountain, ☶) is 1.

The total energy of the 8 trigrams is 28, equal to the sum of the rays going out and returning to the Sun dominantly displayed in the Center of the Drum. This is the reason helping me to know that every trigram is the binary number indicating its energy level as demonstrated in the above figure.

These energy levels reflect a spectrum of energy, from the hottest, highest (Càn, 7) to the coldest, lowest (Khôn, 0), like the sun’s journey through the day and year in the space.

BQLD, Spacetime Map

Fig. 4: BQLD, Spacetime Map

Let’s position the 8 trigrams to map time and space, starting with Càn (7) at the top, the peak of the energy, representing the South, Summer, Noon, and Upside. Moving clockwise like the sun travels to the west (right side of the map), the energy should decrease to Tốn (3) in the Southwest, to Khảm (2) in the West, to Cấn (1) in the Northwest and reach the lowest at the bottom, which should be Khôn (0), a symbol of the North, Winter, Midnight, and Ground. Then, the energy starts rising, starting at Chấn-Early Spring (4) in the Northeast, Li (5) in the East, Đoài (6) in the Southeast and finally reaches the highest at Càn-Sun (7) in the South, returning to where it starts.

This configuration is called Land-Directions 8 Trigrams (BQLD) in the Circle-Square Dao. As shown with the changes of the energy level, the BQLD’s trigrams reflect the natural cycle of seasons of the year, hours of the day, and directions of the space. BQLD is our spacetime map.

Which is the Right Map

Now, compare BQLD to the I Ching’s Late Heaven arrangement, which experts claim maps time and space and is widely used in decision making, Feng Shui and divination2Decoding Early Heaven and Later Heaven Bagua. Visually and mathematically, we can tell that the Late Heaven does not show the energy flow of the nature. With Ly-Li (5) in the South (Summer), Khảm-Kan (2) in the North (Winter), Chấn-Zhen (4) in the East and Đoài-Dui (6) in the West, the Late Heaven says that the Fall (Đoài-Dui, 6) is warmer than the Spring and hotter than Summer, the hottest season of the year. It is impossibility.

Clearly, the Late Heaven is not the appropriate map of the spacetime. Late Heaven’s zigzag flow of the energy starting from Zhen-Chấn-Early Spring 1 → 4 → 3 → 5 → 0 → 6 → 7 → 2 is very strange seasonal change. Yes, it may show something, but not the times of the day, the seasons of the year, the position and directions of the space, definitely. This mismatch is like using 2+3=6 in a project leading to the wrong answer.

The wrong Late Heaven has a huge implication because its Eight Trigrams positions are central to I Ching as the living, practical map of space-time and life’s cycles. They are indispensable in many applications such as decision making, asking for the insight, Feng Shui, fortune-telling, and divination, guiding people in the world’s changes and dynamic energies for better health, fortune, reflection and insight3Feng Shui Bagua Map..

Experts and people who use the Late Heaven for their own insight or giving advice to the others have based their guidance on a flawed system. Any perceived success or failure of their advice stems from other factors, for example experience, intuition, coincidence, not the Late-Heaven’s validity, as its foundation is incorrect.

Fig. 7: I Ching’s Late-Heaven 8 Trigrams vs. Drum’s BQLD

The Drum’s Circle-Square Dao gives the right formula – the BQLD that aligns the trigrams’ energy levels with time and space. BQLD’s energy flow, starting from trigram Zhen-Chấn-Early Spring 4 → 5 (Spring)→ 6 → 7 (Summer) → 3 → 2 (Autumn) → 1 → 0 (Winter) reveals a harmonious, rhythmic and seamless motion where the energy levels and the opposite but complementary like Summer and Winter, Up and Down, Left and Right move as one whole. By using the right map-formular (2+3=5), the Circle-Square Dao helps us living in sync with the universe, avoiding the confusion of a flawed system and fostering true balance for all.

BQLD, a Map of the Human too

But that is not all. BQLD also reveals a Human Map, depicting our structure, expression, the initial state at birth and childhood. It’s like a map of where we begin, how whole we are and how do we connect to the society and the natural cycles from the moment we’re born.

Fig. 9: One Map – Two Views

As our image, the BQLD always places Càn-Sun ☰, a symbol of our spirit, power and creativity on the Top. Thus, turning the South up is a way the sages express the deep and holistic understanding of the human, rising up to the sky while firmly rooted on the Earth, truly beautiful and inspiring message. Not seeing this insight, some turn things upside-down by placing the south (Spirit) below the north (Body). They reason that doing so makes the directions aligned with the modern day’s map…  

Fig. 10: The Center – Heart – Dao – Conscious Energy

The four (4) trigrams – Đoài Chấn Cấn Tốn – form a square fitting inside the circle. That square is human’s external or expressed polar. The internal polar is represented by the circle formed by 4 Trigrams – Càn Khôn Ly Khảm. The circle sets the pace; the square gives it dance. Guiding them, ensuring both foundation and growth, mastery and progress, is the Center, Conscious energy, Heart or Dao that occupies a dominant and sacred central position. This is one of the reasons we call Dao the Circle-Square Dao.
