The King Wen sequence: A series of mistakes and misunderstandings

  Everything started quite conventionally: We built our circular diagram just as before.

We took the 36 hexagrams, 
and started to build the matrix.
What is this mess?
You were instructed to fill the gaps, not to mix them up. Ok, ok, not a big mess, but please, pay more attention next time.
What? There will be no next time, because our build will be the official version for the next two thousand years? Gods in Heavens. Let's just continue.
Take the first row, from left to right,
and break it into two equal halves.
Here comes the second row, left to right:
And the third row, right to left:
Fourth row, from right right to left:
Fifth row, left to right:
And the sixth row, right to left:
Nice work. We'll just take the finishing pieces and place them... How do you mean they are lost? Please bring me the original bagua circle.
