Experiences

The experience scenario provides users with the means to consult the I Ching about a particular matter. An experience is made up of the following (see Fig. ):

1. A situation.
2. A question.
3. The hexagram of the consultation. From the hexagram the user could select as many interpretations (according to the interpreters available in the system) as she likes.
4. Concluding thoughts.
5. 1 to n Other users' experiences.

It is worth noting that given a user experience it may be shared in two ways:

1. By associating another users' similar experiences with it.
2. By sharing it with other users.
