Letter-Based Representations
This is the most literal representation, the most parallel to the display on the Wheel :
- The 11 Letters of the Primordial Verse, representing BEING in His Unmanifested State, in the Eternal Instant; and hence also referred to as "Central Verse", since it can be seen as representing the Center around which revolves the Wheel of Time.
- Then the 1616 Letters of which are composed the 12 Verses, which represent the 12 Steps of the Wheel of Time, the Experience of BEING in His Manifested State.
- And then again the 11 Letters of the Primordial Verse.
The total number
of Letters (11+1616+11) is 1638.
The 1616 Letters (16x101) are arranged in 101 columns and 16 rows.
There are 18 lines: one line of 11 Letters (the Primordial Verse), sixteen lines of 101 Letters (the 12 Verses), one line of 11 Letters (the Primordial Verse); hence this representation is also referred to as "1-16-1".
In this representation, the Primordial, or Central Verse,
and the Realm of the 12 Verses are seen in a distinct way,
as on the Wheel
; the Primordial Verse appears twice, to indicate the Dimension of the Eternal
Instant before and after the Manifestation of Time, but it is
indeed only ONE.
From the perspective of the Primordial Verse being
only One, the total number of Letters can also be seen as 1627 (11
Letters of the Primordial Verse and 1616 Letters of the 12 Verses).
All other representations presently shared here
differ, in that the Primordial Verse and the 12 Verses appear as part of the same
flow of Letters, not distinct as in this one.
The Letters which in the Punctuated Text
appear at
the start of each of the 12 Verses to indicate its
Number, do not appear here, not being a
part of the actual Text (but the א Alef
at the start of the Primordial Verse – before and after the 12 Verses – does
appear, being an actual part of the Text).
The standing purple lines are there to distinguish
between Verses. Before the First Verse (at the top right of the Table of the
1616 Letters ) and after the 12th Verse (at its bottom left ), no
such lines appear, not being needed to distinguish between Verse and Verse.
The two green standing lines indicate the beginning and end of the Parenthesis of the Eighth Step, the Time we are in now, and which is One Second for the Original Person Above.

The Vertical Double Pyramid of 26 Squares
The Horizontal Double Pyramid of 26 Squares
These are representations of the 1638 Letters as 26
squares, two pyramids of 13 squares each:
12+ 22+ 32+
42+ 52+ 62+ 72+ 82+ 92+
102+ 112+ 122+ 132+ 132+
122+ 112+ 102+ 92+ 82+
72+ 62+ 52+ 42+ 32+ 22+
12
1+4+9+16+25+36+49+64+81+100+121+144+169 = 819, and 819 x 2 = 1638.
In these representations, the Initials appear in orange, as in the 11-1616-11 representation, enabling for a distinct reading of the Words.

Here are variations of these two representations: Vertical and Horizontal . There, each Letter appears in a distinct cell, and there are purple lines, as in the representation of 11-1616-11, to distinguish between Verses (and green lines, to mark the Parenthesis of the Eighth Step); but there are such lines also before the Verse of the 1st Step and after that of the 12th, since the Primordial Verse is represented in the same flow, before the Verse of the 1st Step and after that of the 12th.

The Linear Star of the Eternal Book
This is a representation of the Holy Verses in 1633 Letters (1633 being a "Star Number"): from the א Alef at the start of the Primordial Verse (before the 12 Verses) to the ב Bet, initial Letter of the final Word in the Primordial Verse as appearing at the end (after the 12 Verses). So, from the Initial of the first Word (the primordial א Alef being also the first Word) to the Initial of the last and 400th Word. As an Initial contains the whole Word, in that Letter ב Bet are also seen the 5 other Letters of the final Word בראשית BEREŠIT. Thus in the 1633 are seen the 1638 Letters.
In this representation, the Initials appear in orange, as in the 11-1616-11 representation, enabling for a distinct reading of the Words.
The reading is linear, that is, from right to left, and from top to bottom.

The Concentric Star of the Eternal Book
In this representation appear the same 1633 Letters as in the Linear Star, but disposed concentrically. There, the Initials do not appear in a different color, but the 16 layers around the Center are represented in 4 colors, 4 times (and the Center in yet another color, Amber).
The colors are blue, pink, orange and green; in the first layer, immediately around the Center, 2 shades of blue appear, to show the pattern of first 6 Letters forming an hexagon, and then 6 Letters at the 6 points of the Star.
Here the letter "Taw", final letter of the Hebrew Alphabet, appears in its original form of + , instead of the shape of ת used in modern Hebrew.

Word-Based Representations
This table shows the 400 Words of the Eternal Book, in a square of 20x20 Words.
There are standing purple lines between Verses (and green to indicate the Parenthesis of the Eighth Step), as in the representation of 11-1616-11, but here there are such lines also before the Verse of the 1st Step and after that of the 12th, since the Primordial Verse is represented in the same flow, before the 1st Verse and after the 12th.

Here the 400 Words of the Eternal Book appear in a Diamond of 39 levels, a shape made of two triangles one on top of the other, pointing in opposite directions. The upper triangle has 20 levels, the first level containing one Word, the second level two Words, and so on down to the 20th level, of 20 Words. Then is the lower triangle, starting with level 21 which contains 19 Words; then level 22, of 18 Words, and so on down to level 39, which contains one Word.
The levels are indicated on the right side of the Diamond, in green; and the number of Words per level is indicated on the left side, in pink.
For the upper triangle, the green and pink numbers are the same, and for the lower triangle, green and pink numbers on a same level sum up to 40.
The fact that the 400 Words can be represented both as a square and a diamond reflect a mathematical principle applying to all square numbers:
The square of a number n is equal to the sum of the triangle of n and the triangle of n-1; the triangle of a number being the sum of all the numbers from 1 to that number. The triangle of 1 is 1, the triangle of 2 is 1+2=3; the triangle of 3 is 1+2+3=6, and so on.
Thus, the upper triangle contains 210 Words (the triangle of 20); the lower triangle contains 190 Words (the triangle of 20-1, 19); and 210+190=400.
