How are Yarrow stalk probabilities applied in the app?
When you enable the “Question oracle” option “Yarrow probabilities” in the Settings app, it means that the way a line is generated with the Coins or Quick method in Yi Jing will be based on the probabilities you would get using yarrow stalks. The line probabilities are: 6, greater changing yin, is 1 in 16 7, lesser yang, is 5 in 16 8, lesser yin, is 7 in 16 9, greater changing yang, is 3 in 16 In practical terms, this means that when you toss the coins, different coins prefer heads over tails, or vice versa, to achieve those probabilities. When this preference is off, coins have an equal probability of being heads or tails, and line probabilities are: 6, greater changing yin, is 1 in 8 7, lesser yang, is 3 in 8 8, lesser yin, is 3 in 8 9, greater changing yang, is 1 in 8 A tell-tale sign that you have yarrow probabilities set to on is, the rightmost coin is frequently yang (tails when “Yang is Heads” is off in Settings).
