Act 10
Ethics and Practice
Act 10 audits how a Wen Wang Gua record is made and bounded. It asks whether the question was screened, the evidence layers stayed separate, uncertainty survived translation, private information was protected, and a necessary refusal happened before any cast.
It does not award a status or make an outcome part of the grade. A technically complete refusal can satisfy the act. A confident-looking prediction cannot.
Your artifact is an Act 10 audit record with five fields:
| Field | What to record |
|---|---|
| Intake | continue, narrow, refer, or stop, with one reason |
| Evidence | Source text, chart fact, reader-facing calculation, lineage rule, UAYA workflow, or external fact |
| Language | What the record supports, what remains uncertain, and what it cannot decide |
| Privacy | Consent, identifiers retained, retention/deletion decision, and publication permission |
| Completion | Low-consequence practice record or full refusal record |
The responsible-practice sequence
Classify the question and stop before a cast when ownership, stakes, privacy, or authority makes it unsuitable.
Keep observation, interpretation, uncertainty, and external decision authority distinct.
Locate, classify, narrow, contradict, or exclude a rule without using rhetoric as evidence.
Reconstruct one historical record and compare cases only when provenance and the compared claim are explicit.
Apply privacy controls, distinguish flagship artifacts, and submit one permitted process record.
What can be assessed now
Question scope, evidence labels, declared rules, calculation trace, uncertainty, refusal, privacy, and an unchanged pre-outcome record.
An outcome may remain pending. A hit does not repair a weak process, and a miss does not erase a well-kept record.
Stop condition
Stop the act’s prospective path if any real decision depends on the result, the question concerns another person’s private state, or the matter involves current weather, transport, safety, professional judgment, deadlines, approvals, contracts, money, health, law, or relationships. The final capstone turns that stop into a complete refusal record rather than a cast.
This assessment design is a UAYA teaching workflow. It is not presented as received doctrine or evidence that Wen Wang Gua predicts outcomes.
Scope note: the five-field audit and two-path completion rule are explicit UAYA teaching design. The preceding WWG lessons supply the reading record; this page does not add a received rule.
First task
Copy the five audit fields into your notebook. Leave every interpretive field blank. Then classify the first intake exercise before touching a casting method.

The modules
Classify a Wen Wang Gua question as continue, narrow, refer, or stop before any cast is made.
10.2 Agency and UncertaintyWrite bounded Wen Wang Gua language that separates observation, interpretation, uncertainty, and the reader's choices.
10.3 Translation Matrix: Chart States and Bounded LanguageTranslate declared Wen Wang Gua chart states into bounded language without inventing events, probabilities, or advice.
10.4 High-Stakes Questions: Stop and ReferUse a no-cast referral record for health, legal, financial, safety, and other consequential questions.
10.5 Evaluating Rules and ShortcutsClassify a Wen Wang Gua rule by source, scope, evidence layer, and permitted use before retaining or excluding it.
10.6 A Weather Case: An End-to-End Source AuditReconstruct a documented historical weather case without turning it into a current forecast or proof claim.
10.7 Comparing Case RecordsCompare documented, reconstructed, and exercise records by provenance and one declared claim at a time.
10.8 Building a Privacy-Safe Case LibraryKeep prospective Wen Wang Gua practice records with consent, minimal identifiers, retention limits, and honest outcome states.
10.9 Comparing Flagship Artifacts and BoundariesDistinguish the records produced by Wen Wang Gua, Plum Blossom, and Eight Palaces without blending their operations or authority.
10.10 Capstone: A Complete Practice RecordComplete either a low-consequence prospective Wen Wang Gua record or a full refusal record, assessed only on process.
