Structure

Three galaxies, one canon

Each galaxy is one dataset laid on the same spiral. Choose a galaxy at the top to travel to it. Merging draws all three on one spiral: where two or three sources mark the same passage, with extents that overlap by 80% or more, they become one star with a ring for each source.

Where each star sits

The spiral is the canon in Protestant order, Genesis to Revelation, spaced by verse count. A star sits above the passage it covers; the higher it floats, the larger its scale. Book-length structures are drawn as arcs along the spiral, and returns between distant passages as bridges across it.

How sure each one is

In the Arc Galaxy a filled star is verified, a ring is supported and a broken ring is a candidate; the same marks run through the diagrams and the stamps. Murai and Xchange structures are drawn as diamonds: they are proposals shown as their sources give them, not graded here. Color only says which division of the canon a structure belongs to, or in the merged view which source it comes from.

What the empty space means

Density shows where each dataset has been researched, not where chiastic structure can or cannot exist. A quiet stretch of the spiral has not been shown to lack structure. Method and sources.
