( setq i-ching-randomness-source 'quantum) Each method may be assessed for its suitability and set as necessary. Thus, this package can draw upon several source of randomness including quantum (sampling quantum fluctuations of the vacuum via ANU), atmospheric (atmospheric noise via ), or pseudo (pseudo-random numbers provided by the local computing environment). In consulting an oracle the nature and source of chance, synchronicity or randomness can be considered important aspects of the process. The 3-coins and yarrow-stalk methods produce slightly different probability distributions for casting a hexagram as detailed in the following table (and discussed in more detail in Probability and the Yi Jing) Value If a casting produces changing lines, the resulting hexagrams will appear as ䷂→䷇ or ䷥ (䷢) when displayed. The current package does not provide commentary for individual lines or changing lines, preferring the concise description of a hexagram (and potentially the changing hexagram). These values are represented internally as binary pairs which are used to produce a single hexagram, or a hexagram and changing hexagram. The 3-coins and yarrow-stalk methods calculate values for the lines of the hexagram (6 or 9) and changing lines (7 or 8) as described in the text and commentaries. If the glyphs don’t appear to change you may need to call (i-ching-update-fontsize) changing or moving lines
