Conclusions

We learn from thinking about the above and studying many examples, that there are three kinds of codes:

a) Some codes are statistical miracles and, taken together, they prove the entire phenomenon. We have seen these collections of codes only in Torah, never in any of our comparison texts.

b) Many ELS arrangements are not codes at all, because they are quite ordinary and expected: something similar can be found in any text. The critics find these counterfeit codes in books like Moby Dick and War and Peace to attempt to disprove the whole phenomenon. But for discerning readers, it can be seen that this "disproof" does not in any way explain away the miraculous codes found only in the Torah.

c) Most ELS arrangements are in a large, grey area, unmeasurable, and their status as true codes can not be determined.

Because of (c), there are very few legitimate new things we can learn from codes, other than implications about the codes' Author, stated above. But those implications can be somewhat revolutionary, depending on a person's prior outlook.
