This act has one job: turn a precise question and a completed chart into a target-selection record.

Do not judge the chart yet. Strength, movement, timing, and outcome belong to later acts. Here you identify which line represents the exact subject, where that line appears, and how confident the selection is.

The record you will produce

For every exercise, write:

Field	Required entry
Question	One subject and one task
Selection method	Six Relative, World, Response, hidden line, transformed carrier, or redirect
Target role	Parent, Officer, Sibling, Wealth, Child, World, or Response
Location	Primary, hidden, or transformed; line counted bottom-up
Evidence	The rule and chart fact used
Confidence	High, medium, low, or stop

Stop is a valid result. Use it when the question contains several unrelated subjects, the role is ambiguous, or the proposed target depends on an unsourced exception.

Lesson sequence

1. The question determines the target. Hold the chart still while the task changes.
2. Yong Shen. Select a visible target from the primary chart.
3. The four-role relationship map. Derive support, obstacle, and support-blocker from the target element.
4. Selection methods. Choose the correct route into the chart.
5. Double Appearance. Rank multiple visible candidates without disguising a tie.
6. Hidden Spirit. Retrieve a missing role from the palace primary at the same position.
7. Workshop. Complete twelve selection records and refuse the drills that cannot support one target.

Boundaries for this act

• A Six Relative is a routing category, not a person’s identity or condition.
• A moving or visually prominent line is not automatically the target.
• The ordinary search begins on the primary chart. Hidden and transformed candidates require an explicit method.
• A documented case shows what a text records; it does not prove that the interpretation predicts events.
• Case 00035 is the ordinary anchor. Case 00115 appears only in the hidden-line lesson because its document type and historical stakes are unknown.

Source position

This directory supplies the course sequence; it does not create an additional doctrine. The claim-bearing lessons use the checked Chinese composite of Zengshan Buyi, named chapters of Bushi Zhengzong, and reader-facing chart derivations. UAYA’s intake form, confidence labels, and stopping rules are teaching controls.

Next, apply the governing rule: the question determines the target.

The modules

4.1 The Question Determines the Target

Why a target line is selected from the stated task rather than from the chart's most dramatic feature.

4.2 Yong Shen: Selecting the Target Line

Select the primary-chart line that represents the exact subject of a Wen Wang Gua question.

4.3 The Target Relationship Map: Yong, Yuan, Ji, and Chou

Derive the target, support, obstacle, and support-blocker roles from Five-Phase relationships.

4.4 Target-Line Selection Methods

Choose among Six Relative, World, Response, hidden, transformed, or redirect methods without forcing a target.

4.5 Double Appearance: Ranking Multiple Target Candidates

Record and rank two or more visible candidates while preserving ties and source disagreement.

4.6 Hidden Spirit: Retrieving an Absent Target

Recover a missing Six Relative from the palace primary and record its covering line without overstating emergence.

4.7 Twelve Target-Selection Drills

Practise target-line selection, confidence, and refusal across twelve bounded exercises without predicting outcomes.
