"Let’s expand our horizons to the 32-D and 64-D cases and give them names (since they currently don’t have any!). Following the convention adopted by Tony Smith, who has called the 2⁸-ions Voudons after the 256 deities of the Ifa pantheon of Voodoo or Voudon, we’ll call these Pathions (for the “32 Paths” of Kabbalah) and Chingons (for the 64 Hexagrams of the I Ching or Book of Changes)."
