The Perpendicular Pattern


Nachum Bombach has also found some extremely significant perpendicular examples. One of these follows:

This example started with the vertical expression at the bottom (in blue and red), "the light from G-d", with skip -2063. Other ELS's for light were then found in the same picture, including the horizontal expression (in pink, green and red), "waving the light from light"; and the vertical expression at the top (in blue and yellow), "light from light". The long lengths of these particular ELS's and their relevance and proximity to each other are extremely rare. But Mr. Bombach has reported that this perpendicular pattern is seen much more often than expected when we start with a long vertical expression that has many letters and/or relatively short skip. The vertical expression acts as an "axis" around which we tend to see many related expressions.
