The I Ching, an ancient Chinese system of 64 hexagrams, decoded by the engine as an information tool.
The engine reads it as a way of measuring disorder and tracking the changing state of a situation.
Each of its 64 hexagrams is made of six broken-or-solid lines, which is effectively a 6-bit binary code, giving it a binary state system three thousand years before modern computing.
It shows that the core idea behind digital computing — encoding states in binary — is far older than the machines we credit it to.
