How to read the exploration
Keep interpretation and observation distinct
A chart is the output of a rule system. Interpretations about behavior or events need to be checked against actual experience.
Preserve uncertainty in birth-time comparison
The original questionnaire compares candidate profiles. Ties remain ties; similarity is not the probability of a true birth time.
Turn suggestions into observable action
Try small experiments, clarify responsibilities, communicate boundaries and review what happens. Your decisions remain yours.
Calculation conventions and sources
The public iztro 2.6.2 engine uses entered local civil time. Late Zi time defaults to the next day; the year changes at Lunar New Year. True solar time and DST removal are not applied automatically. Ambiguous times require clarification.
Candidate rectification is an original transparent prototype, not Zhang Shengshu's proprietary system. Rule calculation, questionnaire consistency and predictive validity are different questions. No birth-time identification accuracy has been established using real labeled records. Major medical, legal or investment choices require appropriate real-world evidence and professional advice.
