Algorithmic Permutation of part of the Torah
Grenville J. Croll

TL;DR
This paper presents a recursive permutation algorithm applied to a Torah segment, combined with stochastic and deterministic filters, to generate permutations that resemble readable Biblical Hebrew, resulting in a subset of promising sequences.
Contribution
It introduces a novel recursive permutation method combined with filtering techniques to produce permutations of biblical text that approximate readable Hebrew.
Findings
800 sequences pass the filtering thresholds
15 billion total permutations generated
Filtered sequences resemble Biblical Hebrew
Abstract
A small part of the Torah is arranged into a two dimensional array. The characters are then permuted using a simple recursive deterministic algorithm. The various permutations are then passed through three stochastic filters and one deterministic filter to identify the permutations which most closely approximate readable Biblical Hebrew. Of the 15 Billion sequences available at the second level of recursion, 800 pass the a priori thresholds set for each filter. The resulting "Biblical Hebrew" text is available for inspection and the generation of further material continues.
