More evidence for the three patterns in 95 theses
For extraordinary claims you need extraordinary proofs. There are extraordinary proofs when you consider that for the three patterns that the sequence is exact for the three patterns. The probability is one in ten for each correct part in the sequence, so the number pattern it is correct for the 250 parts. The probability is astronomical.
The next task is to show that the sequence really relates to the quality of the parts. For the counterclockwise and number patterns I have put in brackets the key word for the part right after the part. This gives a person the chance to see if the part has the quality that matches the key of that part. The clockwise pattern is described for the parts in the article of Discovery of clockwise pattern for 95 theses. In the three patterns, counterclockwise, clockwise and number; there are 360 parts that are identified with their key words.
Another aid was to point out words that describe a part. For the counterclockwise and number patterns I have highlighted words for the individual theses and parts to show the quality of the part. The key words gives a good indication of the quality of the part, but doesn’t quite give the full description. Consider that there are ten themes to describe the full vocabulary.
Another test I did was to show if the individual words that was the highest for a part coincided for the three patterns. That is testing one pattern against another, such as the counterclockwise against the clockwise and number patterns, and the clockwise against the number pattern. There were 215 words that matched comparing the three patterns. The expected value is 187. It is scientific as it tests words against words that were the highest for different patterns.
Another test was of my noting with an asterisk words that came out the highest that I believed related to the quality of the part. The vocabulary of the 95 theses was 665 words. I marked 132 words for the counterclockwise pattern, 151 for the clockwise pattern, and 193 for the number pattern. Since by chance you would expect ten percent, then 66 would be expected, but the quality of a part overlaps so it is more than ten percent. It is a persuasive test, but not scientific.
This is another test in which I picked words that I believed would indicate a quality of a part. This is the total of 21 words for enlighten for the three patterns for these words: bells, because, become, becomes, ears, free, freer, hundred, known, order, see, seem. The second highest was 6 for inadequacy.
These words: ago, alone, beware, bones, but, few, if, naught, nay, need, needs, needy, none, not, only, should, tests, useful; occurred 74 times for inadequacy and 35 times for the communication part, which was the second highest.
These words: accumulated, already, and, buy, continues, high-sounding, increase, increases, lavish, lavished, laws, many, promise, release, superfluous, wealth; occurred 50 times in the expansive part and 39 in reject, which was the second highest.
These words: ample, ampleness, curate, curates, every, feels, has, have, inner, inward, own, pain, pains; occurred 34 times in the fruitful part and 18 in reject.
These words: all, Christ, events, general, given, God, kingdom, Lawrence, paschal, rightly, Severinus, suffrage, true, truly; occurred 50 times in authoritative part and 21 in sociable.
These words: efficacious, he, himself, reason, reasoning, reasons, said, sake, say, simply, slight, speaking, speaks, spoke, they, think, those, truth, utter, who, whose, why, word, ?; occurred 113 times in communication part and 37 in reject.
These words: accursed, anathema, arms, ashes, avarice, blasphemy, cross, dammed, deceased, dying, funeral, guilt, madness, masses, power, powers, purgatory, violated; occurred 53 times in reject part and 18 in communication.
These words: beloved, humbled, justly, kind, kindness, loves, man’s, men, priest, representative, same, subjecting; occurred 30 times in sociable part and 5 times in expansive.
These words: apostolical, believers, bishop, blessedness, canons, charity, commissary, grace, graces, heaven, holy, Jesus, lord, piety, reality, reverence, sacramental; occurred 37 times in spiritual part and 16 in communication.
These words: act, acting, acts, build, enemies, hateful, working; occurred 10 times in action part and 4 times in authoritative.
As you can see the words I chose did match the key words. This gives it scientific proof for the three patterns, counterclockwise, clockwise, and number because it was the total of those three. It is scientific because there was no interpretation. It was the factual word counts for individual words in certain parts.
There were 151 words chosen to represent the ten parts. The total vocabulary is 665. That makes it 22% of the words, which is a large meaningful test. What is really important is how much the highest part was above the rest. For example for the communication part these were the results for the ten parts: 35, 34, 26, 19, 34, 113, 37, 35, 26, and 36. It is more than two standard deviations above average, which is generally considered as scientifically significant. Looking at the results of the other parts you can see that the highest was substantially above the second highest. That is an indication that they are also scientifically significant. These can be considered as proof of proofs. They are proofs that the original sequence of parts really had the quality of the key words assigned to them.
Looking at the communication chosen words it is obvious they relate to the quality of communication. Note that I previously mentioned that pronouns were common in the communication part. Also the question mark was mentioned as a good test for communication. The question mark for the three patterns occurred eleven times in the communication part. The second highest was four times.
Three writing patterns operating simultaneously would imply that our minds operate on three levels. There is a fast pattern that relates to the number pattern, a medium pattern that relates to the counterclockwise pattern and a slow pattern that relates to the clockwise pattern.
These few tests of Luther’s 95 theses gives scientific proof that there were three simultaneous patterns. I clearly described the patterns so anyone can check my results. See my web site for more articles for a fuller description of the tests.
