I was wondering lately about the hidden stems interactions when a storage opens or closes.
Will post how I see it with the idea we can comment on that as there is difference or another approach.
Lets say we have Xu and Wei.
So that can be:
X X Xu Wei
Now, Xu hidden stems(modern ones) > Xin, Ding,Wu
Wei hidden stems > Ding,Ji, Yi
Xin clashes Yi opening both I guess.
Then we have Ding being free from that x2, so we have inflow of fire.
However, as Wei is storage of wood, its suppose to bring inflow of wood as well as it should be Store and Open in this case.
However, the only wood in it(Yi) should be busy clashing Xin, bringing the question, if there is inflow of wood, where is it coming from...
The way I work with it is that on the branch function, Wei turns to storage so the Wood comes from Wei's function, not from the hidden stems. Meaning there is inflow of wood not connected to its hidden stems. However, another idea can be that in Wei and Xu interaction both may be open, but there is only inflow of fire(as the wood is busy).
In the same sense lets say we have Wei and Chou.
Now, everything in their hidden stems is clashing each other. Does that suggest that the Metal and Wood that come out of them isn't available to use... I assume it is, as it comes from their function again and not from the hidden stems.
