A recursive root
Regarding the recursive concept of the Book Genesis even atheist scientists may feel respect for the
concept and design of the creation legend.

, already had identified vo!els and especially the smallest Hebre! vo!el
"yod or yud$ as the main pillars of vocal creation% !hich allo!ed us to consider Genesis as a
veritable creation process. Genesis described a true story and not fantastic fairy tale- But of course
it remained a vocal creation !ithout physical backgrounds.
.till the real !onder developed as , identified the recursive design of the yod/structure.
he yod/structure even resembles the proton0s quark structure !ith its typical threefold color
assignment in !hich the colors red% blue and green of course are arbitrary% but all three colors must
be present. ,n quark structure of the proton the author Arpad Horvath comments the structure as
follo!s1
'he quark structure of the proton. here are t!o up quarks in it and one do!n quark.
he strong force is mediated by gluons "!avey$. he strong force has three types of
charges% the so/called red% green and the blue. 2ote that the choice of green for the
do!n quark is arbitrary3 the 4color charge4 is thought of as circulating among the three
quarks.) "quoted from 5ikipedia0s proton)
he real !onder is that even the arbitrary colors red and blue for both up quarks may be found for
the equivalent elementary antipodal 6od/particles in the Book Genesis% !hich !ill need some
further e7planation in later chapters.

he three points inside the 6od ho!ever also represent three vo!els ,%9%C% !hich represent the first

Stage 1: The Yod's Trinity-structure
he Hebre! alphabet did directly not provide the required vo!els and used consonants to help
describe the creation formula.
,n fact the vo!els had been hidden in the consonants themselves. At the inside structure the 4atom4

At this stage , decided to investigate 5ycliffe0s translation of the first day0s creation in Genesis for
its concordance to the Hebre! Fohar. (specially the "highlighted$ vo!el/based !ords seemed to be

consonants in Batin !ords such as optumusZoptimus. he letter !as later used as a

Co-paring the ],vo%el to the Hebre% root Yod
,n the .candinavian alphabets the g/vo!el seems to have enherited the Hebre! 6od0s symbolisms%
!hich concentrate on including a subset of vo!els to represent the male and female components of
the creation process. he subset is male A and female ( in the g/structure and a male ,% a cro!n 9
and female C in the 6od/structure. he ,9C/root is also shared by the Roman deity Kupiter.
he g/vo!el as !ell as various 6od/structures have been used as ego/pronouns such as , in

"cognates1 Greek leukos 4light%4 Batin l56$. he 'yy) or 'iy)/vo!el combinations in 2yyt and Biyt

<atrimony involves the symbolic mating of the vo!els shuru. "female% the moon% left column% "$

.ometimes the Hebre! letter Hei directly seemed to have been copied from Hebre! to the German
language% especially in 'Heirat) "German1 'marriage)$ and Ehe) "German1 'matrimony)$. he
correlation bet!een the vo!el Hei and 'e%ig) "German for 'eternal)$ and 'eeu%ig) "Dutch for
'eternal)$ seems to be obvious.
