How the inherited set is built

A separate six-pair ledger

The fixed pairs are Rat–Goat, Ox–Horse, Tiger–Snake, Rabbit–Dragon, Monkey–Pig and Rooster–Dog. They come from inherited branch tables, not from animal personality descriptions.

Several Harm pairs also occupy part of a Three Meeting or Punishment group. The pair page retains every match because collapsing them into one label discards information about how the positions were counted.

What it establishes
It establishes that two branch coordinates belong to one of the six 六害 pairs and shows the other named sets those same coordinates enter.

Year, month, day and hour stay distinct

Where Six Harms enters a chart

First name the pillars carrying the branches, then keep Harm beside—not instead of—meeting, punishment, phase and stem evidence. The layer and surrounding chart decide the practical reading.
