Sažetak
I Ching, or the book of changes, is an ancient system of philosophy based on the polarity of opposites, yin and yang. The basic ordering of the symbols involves 64 hexagrams. The system of hexagrams is built up from two lines representing yin (broken line) and yang (solid line). Hexagrams are obtained from 8 basic trigrams. According to Chinese philosophy the patterns of I Ching hexagrams are archetypal symbols that describe cosmic flow of the Tao, within the universal network of events. We discuss the similarity between I Ching symbols and modern symbolic descriptors for the analysis of dynamical systems, genetic code and protein structure. It is emphasized that coding algorithms for storing and transmission of biochemical information resemble the I Ching patterns.
