In the Meno, Plato demonstrates through Socrates that an uneducated slave boy can derive geometric truths when asked the right questions — proving, Plato argues, that learning is recollection (anamnesis) of what the soul already knows from its existence before incarnation. Hex 24 (Return) is the structural equivalent: yang re-entering from below, not arriving from outside but returning to where it always was. The 'turning point' of Hex 24 is not new creation but recovery. Hex 48 (The Well) deepens the parallel: the well does not create water — it provides access to what was always below the surface. Every civilization that draws from it gets the same water. Anamnesis and the Well share the conviction that truth is not manufactured but uncovered. The I-Ching's divination method enacts this: you do not receive new information. You are reminded of what you already knew but could not access.
