METHODS
How we arrive at results
We label factual calculation, traditional rules, AI wording, and random processes separately. Every result you can save carries a version and its basis, so it can be recalculated, compared, and corrected.

BaZi and Zi Wei
- Inputs include birth date, local time, IANA time zone, place, and time accuracy; true solar time mode also uses longitude.
- Calendar conversion, solar terms, stems and branches, palaces, and stars are calculated by a deterministic rule engine, so the same input and version produce the same result.
- Base interpretations link directly to evidence keys. AI only organizes the existing basis and must not add assertions of its own.
Timing and date selection
- Timing first fixes the date range, time zone, and topic of interest, then generates daily or monthly samples across the range and shows supporting and conflicting factors.
- Date selection first applies place, genuinely available time slots, weekdays, and excluded dates, then applies traditional rules to the remaining candidates and ranks them.
- Each candidate shows matching rules, conflicting rules, confidence, and the reason for exclusion together, rather than manufacturing a single "auspicious date answer".
Relationships and palmistry
- Relationship reports require the other person's explicit permission and analyze eight dimensions: support, expression, pace, boundaries, conflict, repair, goals, and comparison. They do not give a single predetermined score.
- Palmistry first applies quality thresholds for lighting, sharpness, completeness, glare, and occlusion, then reports only the regions that can be located in the photo, with confidence.
- Palm photos are not stored on this site. Traditional meanings and model observations are shown in separate layers, and low-quality or unrecognizable images are refused outright.
Verifiable randomness in divination inquiry
- The server first publishes a SHA-256 commitment to a hidden random seed; the seed is revealed only after the user completes six explicit actions.
- The three-coin algorithm generates six lines at the standard probabilities for 6/7/8/9, and gives the primary hexagram, changing lines, and resulting hexagram.
- Anyone can verify the result using the public seed and the commitment; high-risk questions never enter the casting flow.
