Jì Jì (既濟) — After Completion

Water above Fire — every line in proper position, perfect alternation, the configuration of completion. "After completion — success in small matters. Perseverance furthers, but confusion at the beginning brings good fortune, and negligence at the end brings misfortune." The classical text's warning is immediate: this is the moment entropy begins. The achievement is real and requires maintenance; nothing holds itself.
