zeekay 7a570b098e Rebuild The Zen of Hanzo as the 64-pattern I-Ching systems philosophy
One 64-hexagram data module (King Wen order) feeds a three-view explorer —
Sequence, Matrix (8x8 trigram field), and Lenses (Zen/Curry/Hickey/Pike).
Every hexagram is active; each maps a classical condition to a Hanzo principle,
rule and diagnostic question. Glyph + number + English label carry each card;
Chinese names stay source-only for provenance.

Remove the Taiji hero emblem, all emojis, the fake Japanese, the disciplines
grouping and the N-of-64-active language. Server-rendered prose sections with a
single client island; static export green.
