Clear stance · clear boundaries
Anygua is not fortune-telling software.
It is an instrument for making number-drawing visible: casting is free, the process is inspectable, source text is separated, and the final reading remains yours.
MANIFESTO
What we do, and what we deliberately refuse.
DO
Transparent casting
Implement four traditional and four modern methods, showing hashes, moduli, line positions, coin tosses, and yarrow traces.
DO
Source archives
Provide the 64 hexagrams as structure, judgment, image, line text, plain readings, and modern reading layers.
DO NOT
No mystic marketing
No luck scores, horoscope loops, talismans, rituals for sale, or sharing your castings with third parties.
What is this?
Is Anygua a fortune-telling app?
No. Anygua treats casting as probability, structure, and source-text reading. It shows how a result is produced; it does not tell you when you will become rich.
How is it different from other I Ching apps?
Anygua treats the casting engine itself as the product: eight methods, transparent computation, dual-brand content isolation, and traceable casting records.
How do I cast?
Do I need candles, incense, or perfect sincerity?
No. Choose a method, provide the matching input, then inspect the result and trace. Traditional methods use randomness; modern methods use deterministic digests.
What is the difference between text and verse casting?
Both use UTF-8 plus SHA-256. Verse casting gives you a poem-shaped input surface and examples while keeping the same algorithm.
What does the math guarantee?
Will the same input produce the same hexagram?
For the four modern methods, yes. For coins and yarrow, no, because those are random processes.
Are coin and yarrow distributions really different?
Yes. Coin is 1/8, 3/8, 3/8, 1/8. Yarrow is 1/16, 5/16, 7/16, 3/16.
Data and privacy
Do I need an account to cast?
No. Anonymous casting works. Signing in only saves your history across devices.
Are uploaded images or audio files stored?
No original file is persisted. The server reads bytes for computation and saves only the hexagram, filename, byte count, digest, and trace.
Pricing and boundaries
Is there a paid tier?
Casting is currently free and unlimited, and the hexagram archive is directly readable. If deeper source packs or AI readings are added later, pricing and boundaries will be explicit.
