Witztum, Rips and Rosenberg [4] have shown that when the Book of Genesis is written as two-dimensional arrays with the topology of a cylinder, equidistant letter sequences spelling words with related meaning appear non randomly in close proximity. Here we adopt the quantitative tools developed in [4] to measure another type of pattern found in the same Book. In the new patterns, equidistant letter sequences spelling out expressions appear in close proximity, on two-dimensional arrays, with conceptually related expressions appearing in the string of letters of the text. We measure the significance of this new type of pattern, using two samples of name-date word pairs, thus similar to the experiment done in [4]. The p-levels obtained were 0.00051 and 0.000046 respectively.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
