Deepseek needs a "Yarrow Stalk" Interface so it could be a comprehensive interpreter of the I Ching. Consistent with a couple of thousand years of Chinese practice.Then cloak the whole thing in a "science" mantle via Leibniz and binary arithmetic.davew
Maybe a toggle to allow for "ancestors' finger-bones" - osteomancy, or even haruspicy or extispicy? What is a good introspective divination without the whiff of hot steaming entrails?
What little consultation i've made with LLM's related to my own I Chingery has been almost exclusively disappointing. I enjoy the idiosynchrasies of my Wilhelm-Baynes translation but am constantly aware of the intejection of a German (language/culture) cum English (language-culture) translation from a somewhat pick-and-choose compilation not unlike the myriad pick-and-choose compilations known as the various Ibrahamic texts most know as their "one true Bible" ("if it aint king james, it aint bible - hooah!").
I'm far from a bible scholar myself, but enjoy the fact of now holding 4 different copies of 4 different variations (all 20th century) with minor read-wear and markings from the original owners (one each from my parental lineages), the others from strangers. I don't seek "wisdom" there, but maybe some "perspective"?
It does better with haiku, especially when reminded to relax any thought of matching (western) syllable count. I attribute this to the very constrained nature of the expression (large handful of words and the reflection on nature, seasons, a turn, etc.), it is easier *for me* to find patterns in the patterns it interpolates/extrapolates from it's myriad training examples...
But as with any Oracle, the "wisdom" is not in the casting or the reference text itself but in the whole context...
