Behaviour guidance

Structure translated into behaviour: what to do more of and what to hold back on. This chapter is the advice layer, not a prediction.

9.1 Behaviour by structure

Tu Duo Jin Mai

buried by resource: too much support, momentum lost

Shui Duo Mu Piao

adrift on resource: heavy support without roots

Jin Wang Wu Shui

strong with no outlet: use Fire to refine

Jin Wang You Shui

strong with an outlet: drain through Water

Cai Duo Shen Ruo

many goals, not enough capacity: shore up the self first

Huo Duo Tu Jiao

scorched by heat: resource burned too hot

Tu Duo Huo Hui

dimmed by Earth: output buried

Sha Zhong Shen Qing

more pressure than capacity: convert it through resource

output overdrawn: shore it up with resource

the four branch interactions: punishment, clash, combination, harm

FAQ

How should I read this chapter?

Each row gives the pinyin, the plain-English name, and what it points to in real life. The terms are labels for structure, not verdicts: read them as a way of describing a chart, then look at the behaviour they suggest. This chapter holds 16 terms in 2 sections.

Where do these terms appear in the product?

In the chart read-out, the advice layer, the comparison conclusions and the period notes. When a word on a result page is unfamiliar, come back here for the row that explains it.

Can a term be used as a conclusion?

No. Terms describe structure; the scores come from a separate model whose formulas are published. We make no claim about outcomes, in either direction.
