GREAT MATRICES, BUT WHO IS THE BEST OF THE BEST?

 (At the bottom of this page, please see summary of results with updated commentary that was posted after the November 4, 2008 election.)

This website focuses primarily on attempts to locate the Ark of the Covenant via the Torah Codes. However the purpose of that search is, in part, an attempt to learn if the Torah Code really does have material encoded that lays out the future of the world similar to the way DNA determines the development of a life form.

Success in looking for events in the past (that were allegedly prerecorded over 3,000 years ago) is often clouded by issues of procedure or loose Hebrew spelling rules for transliterations. In an attempt to learn whether or not the Torah Code names U.S. Presidents, my son (David Roffman) conducted a Science Fair project in late 2005. His results are summarized as the last two tables on this page, and on slide 33 in Part 1 of my slide show. The same show (slides 27-29) lays out the (Bill) Clinton-Lewinski scandal in Torah Codes.

The three 3-part matrices below deal with top three candidates for the U.S. Presidency as of March 6, 2008 (John McCain, Hilary Clinton and Barak Obama). Each combined matrix matches a candidate at his or her lowest ELS with the 4-letter Hebrew word for President; shows the smallest matrix (best match in terms of size) with the candidate and the same word for President (despite the ELS rank of the candidate's name); and finally shows whether a better match can actually found in a non-religious text - a scrambled version of the Torah which serves as the control text on CodeFinder software. Note that it is not unusual for better finds to be discovered in the Control. However, as my son's results for previous U.S. Presidents indicate in the last two tables of this page, we have found that there is a general trend for slightly better results to be in the Torah. A far more complex study with much more significant results was conducted by Dr. Robert Haralick, Distinguished Professor at the City of New York Graduate Studies Computer Science Department.

THE 2008 U.S. PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN

1. John McCain in Torah at Minimum Skip with President. Rules:

(1) No row split allowed.

(2) John McCain must be at lowest skip. This results in a matrix that requires 176 letters.

(3) Since Hebrew rarely uses double consonants, only one letter is used to simulate the double C in McCain. Either kuf or kaf could be used.

(4) Since there is no letter J in Hebrew, the letter yud is used to denote this letter, as is the general rule in Hebrew.

(5) More than one pass through the Torah (a wrapped matrix) is allowed.

p = .2 or one chance in 5 that this is here by chance alone (not significant at all).

2. Smallest (best match) in Torah of John McCain with President. Rules:

(1) No row split allowed.

(2) Since Hebrew rarely uses double consonants, only one letter is used to simulate the double C in McCain. Either kuf or kaf could be used.

(3) Since there is no letter J in Hebrew, the letter yud is used to denote this letter, as is the general rule in Hebrew.

(4) More than one pass through the Torah (a wrapped matrix) is allowed.
(5) No limitations are placed with respect to skip rank of the 8-letter John McCain, however here the match is with the 5th lowest ELS. However, the word for President is at its minimum skip in Torah (+1). This results in a matrix that only requires 32 letters. The smaller the matrix area, the better the match. This is a suberb match. P = .0356 or 1 chance in 28 that this is due to chance alone. This is better than Obama's smallest matrix, but not as good as his lowest ELS matrix.

3. John McCain in Control (Scrambled Torah - not religious text): Rules:

(1) No row split allowed. (2) John McCain must be at lowest skip. This results in a matrix that requires only 140 letters - less than in the Torah with this set of rules. (3) Since Hebrew rarely uses double consonants, only one letter is used to simulate the double C in McCain. Either kuf or kaf could be used. (4) Since there is no letter J in Hebrew, the letter yud is used to denote this letter, as is the general rule in Hebrew. (5) More than one pass through the Control (a wrapped matrix) is allowed. Each pass involves 305,805 letters - the same number of letters as in Torah. This matrix clearly demonstrates the urgent need to use a control text in any Codes experiment. Note: Although the Torah clearly beats the control text (scrambled Torah) in the smallest matrix category, the Control text on CodeFinder (used in this experiment) only has the word used for President (pronounced nasey - the same word as prince spelled nun sin yud alef) 5 times at skip +1. The Torah has this word - 68 times as skip +1. Therefore matches with an open text word for president are more likely to occur in Torah until a better control is made available.

Below: BARAK OBAMA MATRICES IN TORAH AND CONTROL

IF MORE THAN ONE TORAH PASS IS ALLOWED (WRAPPED MATRICES), THE WORD FOR PRESIDENT CAN BE FOUND IN SEQUENCE WITH JOHN McCAIN, BARAK OBAMA, AND CLINTON

AND THE WINNER IS? (We already know on this update of November 5, 2008)
