BaZi Through Code - Algorithmic Chinese Metaphysics

What is BaZi?

BaZi (八字) is a Chinese metaphysical system mapping birth data into a structured chart. It's essentially a deterministic algorithm: four inputs (year, month, day, hour) produce a comprehensive personality analysis.

Core Data Structures

  • 10 Heavenly Stems: Jia, Yi, Bing, Ding, Wu, Ji, Geng, Xin, Ren, Gui
  • 12 Earthly Branches: Zi, Chou, Yin, Mao, Chen, Si, Wu, Wei, Shen, You, Xu, Hai
  • 5 Elements: Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, Water

Why Algorithms Beat AI Guesswork

A proper BaZi engine implements classical rules as deterministic code: same input gives same output, always. Verifiable against classical texts. Zero hallucinations.
