Navigating the refund process
The user is detailing the refund request for a damaged Apple "studio display" and seeks a "Plum Blossom I Ching" reading to determine if Apple will approve the refund.
Crafting the hexagram
I’m working through a "Plum Blossom Numerology" reading by mapping date and time to derive a hexagram, aiming to see if it indicates a favorable outcome for the refund request.
Formulating the hexagram
Piecing together the hexagram, I’m summing numerical values from the date and time to derive the upper and lower trigrams, considering various methods to ensure accuracy.
Opting for simplicity
I’m mapping a simpler method to derive a hexagram by using date and time as primary data, calculating outer and inner gua numbers to find an answer in "Plum Blossom Numerology."
Mapping out the hexagram
I'm piecing together a hexagram using the "梅花易数" method, summing up numerical values from the event time, reducing them to a single digit, and combining them to find the upper and lower trigrams.
Mapping the trigrams
I’m summing the numerical values for year, month, day, hour, and minute, mapping these sums to trigrams, and adjusting for the single-digit cycle to identify a favorable hexagram outcome.
Refining the method
OK, let me see. I’m working through the "梅花易数" method, summing total date and time, reducing by 8, and managing the year calculation for a detailed approach to predicting outcomes.
Breaking down calculations
First, summing year, month, and day, then reducing by 8, reveals the upper gua as "震." Next, summing hour and minute similarly identifies the lower gua as "艮."
Mapping hexagram lines
Integrating "梅花易数," I calculate the mod 6 sum of year, month, day, hour, and minute to pinpoint the line that shifts within hexagram #62, "小过" (Thunder over Mountain).
Pinpointing the switch
I’ve mapped out the mod 6 sum of year, month, day, hour, and minute, identifying the first line as the one that changes, specifically flipping the bottom line of hexagram #62, "小过."
Refining the analysis
I’m checking line configurations for trigrams and hexagrams. The trigram "震" in the Fu Xi sequence is "100," while "艮" is "110." This refinement reveals a systematic composition.
Translating binary insights
Mapping out "Zhen over Gen" hexagram: bottom trigram "110" translates to broken (yin), solid (yang), solid (yang) lines read from bottom to top.
Breaking down the hexagram
I’m examining the "Zhen over Gen" hexagram, converting binary to decimal. The bottom trigram translates to yin, yang, yang, while the top trigram converts to yin, yin, yang.
Breaking down hexagram lines
I’m piecing together the hexagram lines by converting binary to decimal. For trigram "Gen," I notice yang, yang, yin, and confirm the bottom line as yang.
Piecing it together
I'm confirming hexagram #62, "小过," noting "Thunder over Mountain." The standard line composition is verified from bottom to top, with the first line as the changing line.
Confirming hexagram alignment
I’m mapping out hexagram #45, "萃" (Collecting), by converting the binary representation to decimal. This aligns with the King Wen arrangement. Progress is being made in understanding the structure.
Verifying hexagram connections
I’m charting the hexagram #30, "离" (Clinging Fire), ensuring both trigrams are indexed correctly. This involves checking the top and bottom trigrams for consistency.
Verifying consistency
I’m aligning the hexagram #30, "离" (Clinging Fire), checking its lines against the standard depiction to ensure accuracy. This involves comparing every line for precision.
Analysing hexagram progression
Starting with hexagram #62, "小过" (Small Exceeding), I now see how it evolves into #30, "离" (Clinging Fire), indicating a clarifying transition.
Evaluating the return
Apple might accept the return but may impose a minor fee or trouble related to the damage, as indicated by hexagram #62, "小过," transitioning to the clarifying #30, "离."
Assessing refund policies
Apple might reject a refund for user damage or include a partial restocking fee. The decision hinges on specific policies and the product's damage status.
Assessing potential outcomes
I'm figuring out that Apple might give a partial refund or deduct a minor fee, but likely won't accept the full return due to typical damage-related policies.
Navigating refund intricacies
Yes, Apple might grant a refund, but expect questions about damage or partial fees. This sets me thinking about potential negotiations or clarifications needed.
