Legge's Yî King (1882): Hexagram-Text Subset, AI Image-Collated Reader Edition Traditional Chinese classic; judgments traditionally attributed to King Wăn, line passages to the duke of Kâu (following Legge’s presentation). English translation (1882) James Legge Modern data preparation and encoding; AI assistance disclosed in provenance 曲宸宇（Chu, Chen-Yu；GitHub：poplolioi11） Version 0.2.0: complete scoped AI independent image collation; unresolved typography retained; no human/expert collation. 一卦 yigua.art 2026-10-28 10.5281/zenodo.23723692

Public domain historical English translation (1882); no CC condition is imposed on the historical text.

Copyrightable original modern metadata, documentation and arrangement: CC BY 4.0, Chu, Chen-Yu / 曲宸宇 (GitHub poplolioi11); historical public-domain text remains unrestricted.

Version DOI 10.5281/zenodo.23723692 was reserved at package preparation; the public record establishes publication/registration. Concept DOI 10.5281/zenodo.23585521; previous fixed version 10.5281/zenodo.23585522 is preserved.

 James Legge (translator) The Sacred Books of China: The Texts of Confucianism. Part II. The Yî King Oxford Clarendon Press 1882 Princeton witness via Internet Archive Printed pp. 57–210, selected judgments and numbered line paragraphs only; no small-print commentary or appendices.

All 384 lines and both additional paragraphs independently read against the selected large-print body on all 154 source pages, followed by full comparison and explicit adjudication; not human/expert collation.

The same 64 historical reader strings are retained and now independently image-compared in the 2026-10-28 review. Their original ingestion path remains unrecorded; the new review does not invent it.

Fresh image-only contexts read every scoped page before receiving the initial transcription or OCR. The fixed 450 passages were then fully aligned by program. Discrepancies and explicitly selected high-risk items were referred back to the scans. Shared-model and shared-source bias remain possible.

AI image collation, not independent human double collation, expert review or peer review. A complete review record does not establish a measured accuracy rate or a diplomatic edition.

Original OCR remains separate and unchanged. Complete public collation coverage and decisions: legge-1882-image-collation.json.

Whitespace and punctuation spacing normalized; line-break hyphenation joined except long-continued and self-produced; explicit scan-checked changes in corrections. Existing judgment strings retained. Some reader romanizations simplify accents/italics and the historical 3-shaped consonant to Z. Modern site-authored navigation labels derived from line position/polarity; not verbatim Legge headings. No Schematron or custom ODD validation; generic TEI all Relax NG plus dataset-specific round-trip checks.
