Boyler asked once:

Hi there, In Ilza Veith translation on "Neijing", p. 120 there is a statement: "The ways of Yin and Yang are to the left and to the right." This is to say that yin movement is from the right to the left or counterclockwise kind of movement, and yang movement is from the left to the right or clockwise kind of movement. Could someone tell me where I can find some similar statements (preferable explanations *why* they - yin and yang - move like they move) about movements of yin and yang, no matter classics or apocrypha, ancient or modern literature? Thank you. Wansui! Boyler

If we translate the digrams or the trigrams (read from the centre to the periphery) in binary language (Boolean algebra)1, we obtain:

resulting: Yang goes clockwise, and Yin goes counterclockwise.

for details, see: http://www.yijing.co.uk/downloads/oracle.pdf : Andreas Schter - Boolean Algebra and the Yi Jing; The Oracle: The Journal Of Yijing Studies, Vol 2, No 7, Summer 1998, pp. 1934.

We obtain the same thing if we transpose the twelve meridians on the horary cycle, and determine the succession of the three Yin and the three Yang levels:
