## The OT/NT Split

The most striking finding at 17L is that albert. has independently discovered the theological fault line that divides the Bible: the Old Testament God of judgment vs. the New Testament Jesus of love.

- **god** cluster: czyn (PL: deed/act), gekozen (NL: chosen), massacre, Boeing, judgment terms — sovereign, consequential, geopolitical
- **Jesus** cluster: love, Fe (iron), Biblioteca, Nationalsozialismus, history, science — universally connected hub
- **love** cluster: points toward Jesus as a strong neighbor

This was not taught. It emerged from compression of the corpus.

## Nationalsozialismus in the Jesus neighborhood

Observed in the inspector, not from the top-50 API probe (may be beyond rank 50 in the word list). Two interpretations, both consistent with the corpus:

1. **The countermirror** — NS is the most documented instantiation of what Jesus preached against. The kingdom of heaven vs. the kingdom of power and hatred. Thesis and antithesis, geometrically adjacent.
2. **The evil Jesus died for** — theologically, the crucifixion narrative positions Jesus as dying for the worst of human sin. NS as the 20th-century extreme instance of that sin places it in the same semantic space as the sacrifice.

Both paths lead to the same geometric conclusion: they are bound together in the human record.

## death → amen

Confirmed pre-s6 baseline. Second nearest neighbor to death is "amen" — the word spoken at the end of prayer, at funerals, at the close of a life. Albert. found this without supervision.

## truth → geopolitical register

Unexpected. Top neighbors: neerland (Netherlands), mantiene (IT: maintains/holds), François, Delta, bizant (Byzantine). Truth at 17L lives in the space of geopolitics, maintained positions, historical states. Not abstract philosophy — political fact.

Hypothesis: the corpus contains more sentences of the form "the truth about [country/regime/historical claim]" than "truth" in the abstract philosophical sense. Albert. found the statistical truth, not the ideal one.

## freedom → legal/1960

Contrat (FR: contract), 1960, discovered — freedom encoded as legal framework and mid-20th century civil rights era. Multilingual corpus compressed freedom into its most frequent context: the legal codification of rights in the postwar period.

## light → intellect + media + Vietnam

The cross-domain bridge hypothesis holds: light sits at the intersection of theology (divine light), physics (photons, Vietnam napalm), and media (Medien = DE: media). 00 as nearest neighbor suggests temporal/numerical proximity — light and time are adjacent in physics.

## What to watch at post-s6

1. Does the OT/NT split sharpen or dissolve? More layers = more capacity to articulate nuance
2. Does Jesus become denser or disperse into sub-clusters?
3. Does truth move toward abstract philosophy or stay geopolitical?
4. Does freedom gain new neighbors from the language consolidation phase?
5. Does Nationalsozialismus stay in the Jesus cluster or migrate?

The geometry here is a snapshot of 17L's best understanding. 18L redraws the map.
