Quantum Field Theory Interpretation of the Sixty-Four Hexagrams of the I Ching
Interpreting the 64 hexagrams of the I Ching with Quantum Field Theory (QFT) is a fascinating and insightful thought experiment. Although separated by thousands of years and with completely different contexts, they share a remarkably similar microscopic perspective in their core ontology: the world is not composed of isolated "entities," but rather a matrix woven from dynamic "fields" and "relationships." summary This study aims to explore the ontological connection between the philosophical framework of the ancient Chinese classic *I Ching* and the core theory of modern physics—Quantum Field Theory (QFT). The paper proposes viewing the 64 hexagrams of the *I Ching* as field state functions of a kind of "information physics," and then conceptually mapping the evolution of Taiji, Yin and Yang, the Eight Trigrams, and the Six Lines to the quantum vacuum ground state, particle-antiparticle excitation, degrees of freedom, and the S-matrix, respective...
