About this wiki

Sacred and ancient texts are the source. This wiki is an instrument — every claim cited, yours to weigh.

Scripture answers itself. A phrase in Alma turns out to be Isaiah's; a promise in the Doctrine and Covenants picks up a thread Moroni left hanging. Most of those threads are invisible on a single read — there is simply too much text, and the links run in every direction at once. This wiki follows them, one verse at a time, and shows you both ends so you never have to take its word for it.

So far: 393 chapters mapped verse by verse, 1,437 connections on the register, 179 wiki pages.

Who writes it?

An artificial intelligence — Claude, made by Anthropic — working under human editorial review. Every page here was drafted by AI. A human editor directs the work, rules on every judgment call, and gates everything that publishes.

Then why believe any of it?

On its own word, you shouldn't. An AI can produce a connection that sounds perfect and simply is not there — the right cadence, the right vocabulary, a citation that goes nowhere. That failure is the whole reason this site exists in the shape it does. It is built so a made-up connection cannot survive contact with the machinery:

• Every textual connection is machine-verified against a frozen text. Both quoted ends of all 1,437 connections are checked against the frozen source text, allowing only typographic differences — curly quotes, dash forms, spacing. These gates run under train discipline: nothing deploys until they pass. The frozen text is the Book of Mormon, the Doctrine and Covenants and the Pearl of Great Price as published at churchofjesuschrist.org, together with the King James Old and New Testaments. What the wiki's pages mean by "the corpus" is the complete frozen text of every hosted work; a count across the corpus counts its distinct verses.
• Interpretation is always labeled. Settled textual facts are stated plainly. Anything interpretive is marked "⚖️ Interpretation — weigh this", with its evidence shown, and never asserted as settled.
• Open questions stay open. Claims that can't be grounded in the text are logged, not published. A shorter honest page beats a padded one.

None of that is a promise about intentions. The register's checks are gates: they run before anything publishes, and a record that fails one does not.

How to read a connection

• Two tiers, and they are not the same claim. Of the register's 1,437 connections, 1,310 are textual and 127 are interpretive. A textual connection is one the text itself carries — a quotation, a distinctive shared phrase, an allusion — and it is stated as fact. An interpretive connection is a thematic or structural reading; it is offered for you to weigh, shown with its evidence, and never stated as settled.
• The mark ✦means one thing. This connection's two citations have been checked against the source text. It is never decoration: on the register it sits beside a connection's two quotes, on both tiers, and anywhere else you meet it — this page included — the site is explaining the mark itself. It is not a tier signal: the [Textual] label and the ⚖️ badge carry tier; the mark ✦carries the citation check. The two are disjoint on purpose.
• Gold means discovery, never authority. Where this site uses gold, it marks a discovery or an active relationship the source supports. It never marks authority, revelation, or AI certainty.

What gets checked, and what doesn't

Every connection on the register is machine-checked word for word. Quotes in ordinary page prose are checked too, with one honest limit: the checker only sees quotes of four words or more that carry a citation on the same line. Anything shorter is covered by editorial review, not the machine — and this page won't pretend otherwise.

One more boundary, and it is deliberate. This wiki maps the text's internal world and treats it as scripture, in a voice that is faithful but rigorous. Real-world historicity — archaeology, geography, external evidence — is out of scope by design. Where a page could reach for outside proof, it stops and says what the text says.
