This project reinterprets the Taiwanese divination ritual puàh-pue through the act of reading. Using a language-learning model trained on three hundred divination poems, the book generates new oracles where belief is performed through chance, code, and physical gesture. When opened from both sides, the pages form a circular mark, half solid, half hollow, revealing one of three outcomes: Yes, No, or uncertainty. Each opening becomes a divination.
