The "oracle" is the resulting hexagram, with the "changing lines", the lines that are changing from one state to the other.

The text related to this hexagram will represent "the Present", the actual state of the thing.
Once a hexagram is determined, each line has been determined as either changing (old) or unchanging (young).
Any line in a hexagram that is old ("changing") adds additional meaning to that hexagram. Those are "the Mutations", the changes that are happening.
If there are mutations (it can happen that a sign is stable), pressing "the Future" will send you to it.
Taoist philosophy holds that powerful yin will eventually turn to yang (and vice versa), so a new hexagram is formed by transposing each changing yin line with a yang line, and vice versa. Thus, further insight into the process of change is gained by reading the text of this new hexagram and studying it as the result of the current change. This second hexagram is "the Future" and represents the resulting state after the current change.
