Qi Men Dun Jia — Time–Space Strategy, Origins, and Core Principles
Qi Men Dun Jia (QMDJ) is a time–space strategy system. It maps cycles, directions, and roles so decision, position, and timing reinforce one another — without superstition.
1) What Qi Men Dun Jia Is
QMDJ integrates time (hours/days), space (directional sectors), and roles (stars, doors, stems/spirits) to describe conditions for action. It is situational intelligence: read context, choose position, stage moves.
- Time: windows that alter opportunity and resistance.
- Space: sectors whose quality changes with the hour/day chart.
- Roles: Nine Stars & Eight Doors frame behavior and leverage.
Think of QMDJ as disciplined pattern recognition that improves sequencing and posture.
2) Origins and Historical Trajectory
Emerging from classical statecraft where timekeeping, astronomy, and logistics met, QMDJ matured as an institutional tool for coordination under changing conditions. Over centuries it was adapted to governance, campaigns, commerce, crisis response, and private decisions. The constant: timing + position strengthens intent.
3) Core Components (Unified)
Heaven–Earth–Human Plates
Layered matrices for stems, doors, and stars at a moment — the board on which roles interact.
Nine Stars
Vector tendencies: intelligence, influence, disruption, support — they color the quality of an action.
Eight Doors
Operational gateways (Open, Rest, View, Life, Harm, Death, Du, Shock) — suggest how to move.
Heavenly Stems & Spirits
Stems set tone/interaction; spirits add constraints/help — refine posture and risk.
Palaces / Sectors
Eight sectors + center, each inheriting qualities from the chart; they change with time.
Chart Rules & Etiquette
Strict construction (hour/day setup, flying/resting patterns). Interpretation prioritizes context over fortune-telling.
4) How a Chart Informs Action
- Define the mandate: what must happen and by when?
- Cast the moment: build the chart for the target hour/day.
- Locate yourself: actor/team’s palace + star + door.
- Read frictions: clashes/voids/restrictive doors → adjust path.
- Select the vector: Open/communicate, Rest/pause, Life/build, View/observe, etc.
- Execute & review: act inside the window; log outcomes for institutional memory.
QMDJ complements analytics: analytics measure; QMDJ sequences.
5) Applications (Without Hype)
- Leadership & Policy: windows for announcements, briefings, negotiations.
- Operations & Logistics: route choices, staging, contingency doors under pressure.
- Commerce & Projects: launch cadence, critical-path checkpoints, risk buffers.
- Personal Decisions: medical scheduling, travel windows, conflict de-escalation.
6) Ethics and Boundaries
- No fatalism: charts frame options; they don’t remove agency.
- Privacy: avoid exposing personal data when using team charts.
- Evidence first: pair charts with ground data; maintain an audit trail.
7) FAQ (Short)
Is this divination?
It’s context modeling. Symbols compress conditions and vectors; the value is disciplined timing and positioning.
Do I need apps?
Manual or software both work — correctness of setup and quality of review matter more than the tool.
Can this work with modern analytics?
Yes. Let analytics drive measurement and allocation; use QMDJ to sequence action.
8) Closing
QMDJ rewards precision: read the moment, position well, act inside the window, and log results. Quiet discipline compounds.
