Pattern 59: The Reversed Word-Length Sequence Has a 37–73 Position in Pi

Pattern Statement:

The seven words of Genesis 1:1 contain 6, 3, 5, 2, 5, 3, and 4 letters. Reading these word lengths in reverse order produces 4352536. Among its appearances in the decimal digits of π, the first occurrence whose starting position contains 73 begins at position 77702973—a position that begins with 777 and ends with 73.

Why this pattern matters

This observation connects the reversed word-length structure of Genesis 1:1 with a position in the decimal expansion of π containing both 777 and 73.

How this pattern is measured

Begin with the seven Genesis 1:1 word lengths:

6, 3, 5, 2, 5, 3, 4

Reverse their order and join the digits:

4, 3, 5, 2, 5, 3, 6 → 4352536

Search the decimal digits of π for successive occurrences of 4352536. Examine each occurrence’s starting position in order and stop at the first position containing 73.

The Java program reports positions using Java’s zero-based String.indexOf indexing. The formatting of the π source file must remain unchanged for the reported position to be reproduced.

Result

Reversed word lengths: 4352536
Reported starting position in π: 77702973
77702973 begins with 777 and ends with 73.

Verification requires the decimal-digit source file pie.zip. pi.dec must be unzipped.

Method note

This page reports the position found by the specified search. It does not assign a stand-alone probability because that would require a predefined model covering the searched positions and the selection of 777 and 73.
