Void Timing

Your task is to compare the received filling, value, and clash markers for a positioned line that is actually void. If the branch is not in the reading’s void pair, stop; this lesson does not apply.

These are symbolic candidates, not promises. The checked text does not establish one universal ranking for every void case, so preserve the alternatives and their source scope.

Received markers and UAYA record

Marker	Symbolic operation	UAYA record
Filling or value	use the void branch itself	list matching dates only inside the declared horizon
Clash	use the fixed clash partner of the void branch	list matching dates only inside the declared horizon

Day and month scales remain alternatives unless the cited case, source, or named lineage narrows them. A hidden Fu Shen must still be documented at its exact position; absence from the visible chart is not enough to invent one.

The documented awaited-document example

Documented textual case; historical stakes unknown. In the record publicly catalogued by UAYA as Case 00115, the source says 文书 and does not identify an official document, consequence, or deadline. The source-supported mechanics record is:

Field	Value
Chart	Hexagram 22, static
Calendar	Mao month, Ren-Chen day
Hidden subject	Parent Wu beneath bottom-up line 2
Void branches	Wu and Wei
Recorded source route	Jia-Wu, explained through value or leaving void
General comparison retained by UAYA	Wu value and Zi clash, without a universal ranking

Keep source and course convention separate

The received case records Jia-Wu as the day on which the awaited item was obtained or received and explains it through leaving void or value. The general timing note also directs the reader toward filling and clash. UAYA displays the case record and the general symbolic alternatives without inventing a universal priority between them.

Do not collapse the case-specific value route and the general clash alternative into a universal priority. Do not use the recorded result as proof.

Reproducible output

subject: hidden line 2 / Wu
governing condition: void
source record: Jia-Wu value/out-of-void route
general symbolic alternatives: Wu value / Zi clash
ranking: not universal; preserve source scope
course result: mechanics comparison only; no event claim

Stop conditions

• The selected subject is not a positioned line.
• The line is not actually void under the recorded xun.
• The hidden-line position or covering line is not documented.
• Calendar/date inputs are incomplete, so a Gregorian window cannot be reproduced.

Source note

The documented case is in Zengshan Buyi, vol. 2, “Flying and Hidden Spirits” (飞伏神章), checked composite printed p. 53 / PDF physical p. 54; CText work ctp:ws157683, displayed paragraphs 78–85. The general filling/clash cross-reference appears in vol. 1, “General Notes on Response Times for the Various Categories” (各门类应期总注章), printed pp. 48–49 / PDF physical pp. 49–50. The alternative-preserving worksheet is a UAYA teaching convention.

Next step

Move from restoration to release: identify and clash the actual binding branch.
