โ Exodus 6:3
Part I โ The Claim
| Ch. | Title | Subject |
| 1 | A Simple Question | Hebrew roots that vanish in translation; the question of measurable structure |
| 2 | Complex Texts | Why the Torah is uniquely suited for structural analysis |
| 3 | The Patchwork Hypothesis | Documentary Hypothesis vs. structural unity |
| 4 | Methods and Data | Formal definitions: F%, ModeScore, ACF, scaling, tests |
Part II โ The Architecture
| Ch. | Title | Subject |
| 5 | The Alphabetic System | 22 letters โ four groups: Foundation, AMTN, YHW, BKL |
| 6 | The Morphology Engine | 12 content letters + 10 control letters; 99.87% dominance |
| 7 | Structure in Raw Letters | Letter frequencies, distributions, stability across books |
| 8 | Textual Modes | YHWH vs. Elohim: ModeScore landscape, 19 stylometric tests, DH fails 8/9 |
| 9 | The Descent and the Ascent | YHWH/Elohim waves across 5,846 verses; macro gradient 46.2%โ94.6% |
| 10 | Persistence, Scaling, Correlation | ฮพ โ 1,104 verses; dual scaling ฮฑ = โ0.266 / โ0.056; two independent channels (r = 0.171) |
| 11 | The Statistical Signature | Z = 57.72 (0/1,000 shuffles); the Torah stands alone among all tested corpora |
| 12 | Anti-Phased Letter Dynamics | Torah-specific letter pairs ืโืฉ, ืโื, ืฉโืจ; "ืืืื ืืฉืจ ืืืื" = 5 maximal tension letters |
| 13 | Letter Chords and Flowing Letters | PCA: four chords across 54 parshiot; vowel coherence ฯยฒ = 14,403; YHW = I-A-O |
Part III โ Divine Names
| Ch. | Title | Subject |
| 14 | The Four Divine Names | YHWH (0% F), Elohim (0% F), El Shaddai (67% F), Ehyeh (0% F) |
| 15 | El Shaddai: The Foundation Name | Six appearances; the revelation, the patriarchs, the field and the altar |
| 16 | El Shaddai: From Judah to Sinai | Judah and Tamar, Joseph in Egypt, Machpelah, the final revelation |
Part IV โ Between Languages
| Ch. | Title | Subject |
| 17 | The Torah Among Sacred Texts | Cross-Semitic: Torah Z = 57.72, Aramaic Z = 0.39, Quran Z = 17.0, NT Greek Z = 28.8 |
| 18 | The Tower of Babel | Proto-Semitic family; ืืื = 0% Foundation |
| 19 | Parshas as Natural Units | Change-point detection: Z = 2.31, p = 0.011 |
Part V โ The Genome of the Torah
| Ch. | Title | Subject |
| 20 | The Bridge: From Letters to Life | Dual-layer text โ dual-TE genome; why the connection matters |
| 21 | The Genome of Kashrut | BovB/L1 โ 1.0 in altar animals only; sheep 1.00, cow 0.97, goat ~0.94 |
| 22 | The Pig, the Deer, and the Musk | Edge cases: pig (0.002), deer (0.69), musk deer (โฅ16.34% BovB โ living fossil) |
| 23 | From Vine to Garment of Skin | Grape (Gret1 active) vs. fig (triple methylation); Eden โ ืืชื ืืช ืขืืจ |
| 24 | Seven Species and Five Grains | ืฉืืขืช ืืืื ืื TE spectrum; chametz = genomic inflation (ร14 vs. rice) |
| 25 | The Architecture of the Offering | Sacrificial system mapped onto BovB/L1 equilibrium |
| 26 | The Red Heifer | ืืื-ืืืื-ืื-ืืืื; the oral layer as regulatory system |
| 27 | The Covenant of the Flesh | Circumcision, keratin, and the L1/BovB boundary |
| 28 | The Regulatory Model | Unified framework: from equilibrium to creation across species |
Part VI โ Identity
| Ch. | Title | Subject |
| 29 | Names, Descent, Census, and the Genome of Identity | 70 souls (Torah-only count); 600,000 problem; Levi as control group (ร5.6 small); Simeon โ62.6% vs. Manasseh +63.7%; BovB โ exogamy, L1 โ endogamy; "lo tevashel gedi" |
Part VII โ Closing
| Ch. | Title | Subject |
| 30 | Implications and Interpretation | What the model predicts; what it cannot explain; science and faith |
| 31 | One Architecture | The unified synthesis |
| 32 | The Horn, the Head, and the Hearing | Final meditation |
