Unified Pattern — Triple — without YANG mutant, hexagram 0 (Kun, The Receptive — King Wen no. 2)
One of 256 distinct Unified Patterns — a 12×12 Jacquard construction where every cell's colour is read off a single hexagram of the Yi King, hexagram Kun, The Receptive. Binary numbering 0–63; in brackets, the traditional King Wen number.
Family Triple — without YANG mutant, one of the 8 admissible families (out of 15) in the system's classification — see the lexicon for how families are built and admitted.
The pattern's three colour classes, set independently — change one, the other two stay put.
One tint, read in light and dark — a luminance reading, not three colours with two greyed out.
Reading the cell, line by line
The 144 cells of the 12×12 cell fall into six levels of 24 cells, one per line of the hexagram. Where the line is solid (yang), the level takes its colours from the family's YANG grid; where it is broken (yin), from its YANG mutant grid. Count of each colour, level by level:
| Level | Line | Grid read | Colour 1 (violet) | Colour 2 (magenta) | Colour 3 (orange) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | broken | YANG mutant | 8 | 8 | 8 |
| 2 | broken | YANG mutant | 8 | 8 | 8 |
| 3 | broken | YANG mutant | 8 | 8 | 8 |
| 4 | broken | YANG mutant | 8 | 8 | 8 |
| 5 | broken | YANG mutant | 8 | 8 | 8 |
| 6 | broken | YANG mutant | 8 | 8 | 8 |
| Whole cell | 48 | 48 | 48 | ||
The three colours are exactly balanced: 48 cells each. The cell is unchanged by a quarter turn, a half turn.
Hexagram 0 (King Wen no. 2) — The Receptive
Upper trigram ☷ Kun (The Receptive, the Earth); lower trigram ☷ Kun (The Receptive, the Earth).
Image
Earth carries and nourishes without distinction: it does not choose what it supports, it supports everything. The broken line twice over, the same openness twice, one welcoming the other without ever closing. This is the image of pure capacity — not the one that acts first, but the one that makes possible the action of all that comes to it. The sage who contemplates this figure understands that generosity needs no brilliance: thus the noble one welcomes all beings with generous virtue, as vast as the soil that refuses no seed.
Judgement — Ground
The soil receives, and form settles into place. Nothing has yet happened, and yet everything is already made possible: the earth of the first line demands nothing, it waits. This is not the passivity of one who gives up, but the patience of one who knows that rightly understood docility carries within it all the fruitfulness to come. The whole figure will unfold from this one quality alone: to welcome before wishing to impose, to settle before presuming to build.

Same shape, other colourings
Two involutions leave this motif's shape unchanged and only permute its three tints — verified across every family and every hexagram in the corpus, not just this one: swapping the pairing used to read the hexagram (YANG/YANG-mutant ↔ YIN/YIN-mutant), and taking the hexagram's binary complement (63 − 0 = 63). Toggle them below; the tiling never changes, only the colours do.
