Breakthrough (Guai)
Version 1.0.0 · Updated 2026-07-30
CORE DEFINITION
The five yang lines are to expel the topmost yin line. It is necessary to publicly declare the offense, and even if there is danger, one must warn oneself not to use force, but to rely on momentum.
SCAFFOLDING EFFECT
Reduce cognitive load
Eliminate the cancer. When dealing with the last stubborn 'bad person' or 'bad habit' in a team, one cannot operate behind closed doors. It must be made public (proclaimed in the court), forming a great momentum (potential energy), and thoroughly eliminated.
Anchor fast decisions
The 43rd hexagram of the I Ching, with Dui above and Qian below, five yang lines below about to expel the top yin line, meaning 'resolution/decision'. The mechanism is that yang energy is at its peak, and one must decide decisively, but must use the righteous way to decide against the yin of the villain.
