I'll use shoe divination as example (see image for details). Who can help me describe this as code/math? I can see an "IF this, THEN that" but can this be stated in a logical mathematical way? Are there math or code illustrations to make it sound more than theory?</p>",

I used a 3D model to depict the various ways a pair of sandals would fall after tossing, and each has a meaning.\n\nImage 1, face up, toes face away from each other) You will meet somebody \nImage 2, one blocks the other) There is a barrier, or enemy, or opposition to your plans, ahead \nImage 3, toes face each other) you'll have a joyful conversation with someone you meet\nImage 4) Like three, one under the other. If L (left) is on top, other person will oppress you/has ill-feelings towards you, or you won't agree. Kill a goat to neutralize this. If R (right) is on top, other person will listen to you and agree, will show you loyalty.\nImage 5, one falls on top of the other) You'll be welcomed with a meal where you are going\nImage 6, one face down, atop the other which is face up) You'll meet a brown person (not about race)\nImage 7) Tails meet. You'll go to a shrine and find elders eating meat, and you'll be part of them.\nImage 8, one toe faces north beside the other facing south) You'll meet person taking meat from fire to elders\nImage 9) Heads/toes meet. peaceful, everything is ok\nImage 10 one upside down, another right way up) Brown and black person will walk together\nImage 11, crossed) You'll get a pot of brew\nImage 12) Your wife is pregnant, or you'll get a bride and grandma will wear traditional skin cloth\nImage 13) If the one is on top on its side, you'll kill or skin an animal.",
