Self & Opposing Lines
The micro-game theory coordinates of all social interactions, negotiations, and relationships. "Self" is you. "Opposing" is the other party, the target context, or the destination.
What is Self & Opposing Lines?
In any Liuyao casting, precisely one of the 6 lines is algorithmically flagged as the [Shi / Self Line]. It explicitly embodies the querent’s personal stance, capital, and psychological condition. Exactly separated by two lines is the [Ying / Opposing or Object Line]. This represents the counter-party: the negotiation rival, the blind date, the corporation you are interviewing at, or the specific house you want to purchase.
Interpretation & Usage
The absolute rule for modeling relationships is reading the vector between Self and Opposing lines. If the Opposing line Generates the Self line, it is a seller's market: the counter-party is actively pandering to you and will rush to sign the deal. If Self Overcomes Opposing, you hold absolute dominance and leverage over the target. The worst-case is Self-Opposing Clash (Hostility): If assessing a business partnership, a Clash guarantees massive friction, mutual paranoia, and an eventual ugly falling-out.
