<p>Maybe a toggle to allow for "ancestors' finger-bones" -
osteomancy, or even haruspicy or extispicy? What is a good
introspective divination without the whiff of hot steaming
entrails?<br>
</p>
<p>What little consultation i've made with LLM's related to my own I
Chingery has been almost exclusively disappointing. I enjoy the
idiosynchrasies of my Wilhelm-Baynes translation but am constantly
aware of the intejection of a German (language/culture) cum
English (language-culture) translation from a somewhat
pick-and-choose compilation not unlike the myriad pick-and-choose
compilations known as the various Ibrahamic texts most know as
their "one true Bible" ("if it aint king james, it aint bible -
hooah!"). </p>
<p>I'm far from a bible scholar myself, but enjoy the fact of now
holding 4 different copies of 4 different variations (all 20th
century) with minor read-wear and markings from the original
owners (one each from my parental lineages), the others from
strangers. I don't seek "wisdom" there, but maybe some
"perspective"?<br>
</p>
<p>It does better with haiku, especially when reminded to relax any
thought of matching (western) syllable count. I attribute this to
the very constrained nature of the expression (large handful of
words and the reflection on nature, seasons, a turn, etc.), it is
easier *for me* to find patterns in the patterns it
interpolates/extrapolates from it's myriad training examples...
<br>
</p>
<p>But as with any Oracle, the "wisdom" is not in the casting or the
reference text itself but in the whole context...<br>
