The Experiments

Muammar Qaddafi
Colonel Muammar Qaddafi

Before we go through the results of our formal experiments, we present tables formed by the key words selected by Rabbi Glazerson early in 2011.

On March 28, 2011, Rabbi Glazerson uploaded a video on YOUTUBE telling about the fall of Gaddafi. The main part of this table is shown below using a slightly different cylinder size than the original one used by Rabbi Glazerson. The table here uses new axis protocol where the axis keyword is קדאפי לוב, Qaddafi Libya. The date used by Rabbi Glazerson was February 19, 2011 which in the Hebrew Calendar was the fifteenth of Adar I. As mentioned earlier, this is the date that Qaddafi first used helicopter gunships and heavy artillery to fire upon the protestors. This is also the first date that the protestors made retaliatory attacks on the mercenaries hired by Qaddafi. As such it marks the formal start of the Libyan civil war.

The table is based on the following abbreviated sentences: Qaddafi (of) Libya, tyrant. His leadership is shaky, Adar 15, 5771. Qaddafi will Fall. Note that on the video, Rabbi Glazerson translates נשיאתו רעוע as his presidency is shaking. But Qaddafi never really held the position of president. In the beginning of his regime, he was the head of state. But he relinquished this role and became the symbolic figurehead of the government in 1977. Of course he was no figurehead. He was in reality the tyrant military dictator of Libya. So we use the translation that His leadership is shaky. The p-value is estimated under the assumption that all the key words are a priori.

Qaddafi Will Fall
The expected number for the axis term was set to 100. The expected number for the non-axis terms was set to 200. The row and column skip of the axis ELS has to be no more than 2. The row and column skip for the non-axis ELSs has to be no more than 13. The cylinder size is 13017. Using the ELS random placement monkey text population, the probability that a monkey text would yield as compact a table as the one produced by the Torah text is 1.5/100,000.

On October 21, 2011, after the death of Qaddafi, Rabbi Glazerson uploaded another video related table using the same axis key word as the original table but now with key words indicating that he will be killed in 5772. A variant of this table produced by the new axis protocol is shown below. The variant uses the same key words as Rabbi Glazerson used, but has a smaller area. The table is based on the following abbreviated sentences: Qaddafi (of) Libya will be killed (and) will be certainly punished (in) 5772. To permit the long skip ELSs for 5772 and will be punished to be in the table, the protocol had to be changed so that the non-axis ELSs could have the maximum skip possible.

Qaddafi Will Be Killed
The expected number for the axis term was set to 100. The skip for non-axis ELSs was set to the maximum possbile. The row and column skip of the axis ELS has to be no more than 2. The row and column skip for the non-axis ELSs has to be no more than 13. The cylinder size is 13016. Using the ELS random placement monkey text population, the probability that a monkey text would yield as compact a table as the one produced by the Torah text is 4370/100,000.

The next set of tables was produced by a formal experiment exploring a variety of key word combinations as shown in the possibility table below. Note that כב בתשרי had no ELSs. The tables show compact grouping of ELSs around three cylinder sizes: 4394 and its neighbors, 66, and 307.

The tables produced by the new axis protocol and which had p-values smaller than 1/100 are shown below.

The search produced cylinder size was 4394. The expected number of the axis ELS was set to 100. The expected number of the non-axis ELSs was set to 200. The maximum row or column skip of the axis ELS was set to 5 and the maximum row or column skip of any non-axis ELS was set to 7. Using the ELS random placement monkey text population, the probability that a monkey text would yield as compact a table as the one produced by the Torah text is 15/10,000.

The search produced cylinder size was 4399. The expected number of the axis ELS was set to 100. The expected number of the non-axis ELSs was set to 200. The maximum row or column skip of the axis ELS was set to 5 and the maximum row or column skip of any non-axis ELS was set to 7. Using the ELS random placement monkey text population, the probability that a monkey text would yield as compact a table as the one produced by the Torah text is 28/10,000.
