Pattern 97 Mathematical Constants Sampled Within Constants

Why this pattern matters

This result illustrates that the opening digits of mathematical constants can sometimes be recovered by equally spaced sampling within other constants. The program uses the same defined search range for every source-and-target pair, allowing the complete result to be reproduced. This calculation is not derived from the words, letters, or Hebrew values of Genesis 1:1. It should therefore be treated as a related mathematical observation rather than independent evidence about Genesis 1:1.

How this pattern is measured

Four six-digit targets are defined:

Constant Target
π 314159
e 271828
φ 161803
2 sqrt ​ 141421

For each target and each of the four source constants, test every:

starting position from 1 through 999; and
interval from 1 through 99.

For a start s, interval d, and source digit string C, the selected sequence is:

C[s], C[s+d], C[s+2d],…,C[s+5d].

A result is reported when those six selected digits exactly equal the target.

Probability note

Each source-target search tests 999 × 99 = 98,901 equally spaced selections. Under a simplified independent random-digit model, the expected number of six-digit matches across all 16 source-target searches is:

16×98,901 over 10^6 ​ ≈1.58.

Seven matches were observed. A simple Poisson approximation gives a probability of approximately 0.0013, or roughly 1 in 800, of observing seven or more matches.

This estimate is approximate because the tested sequences overlap and are not fully independent. No additional probability is assigned to Bible verses found after interpreting the starting positions and intervals.

This page uses the probability notation provided in the original pattern sequence.
