Gematria in JavaScript
Gematria is assigning numerical values to text, so that you can follow associations between words that have a relation in the numerical association system being used. It acts as a signal to cue your mind into finding meaning in the relationship between two current words.
Whether or not that meaning/relationship is true, or whether or not it is meaningful, is a subject of debate. It can be seen as meaningful under certain logical constraints to the system, or it can be seen as completely arbitrary and meaningless, as you just picked two random words that were connected by a meaningless signal. You could have chosen any system for representing letters as numbers, so they are not necessarily meaningful numbers given the seemingly random system you chose.
For Node.js and the browser.
npm install @cluesurf/mark
Pass in a string of characters to functions like these.
import greek from '@cluesurf/mark/language/greek'
import { mass, base } from '@cluesurf/mark'
// 666 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Number_of_the_beast
logGreekAlphabet('χξϛ')
// χξϛ
// base 9
// fold 18
// site 45
// size 666
function logGreekAlphabet(text: string) {
console.log(text)
console.log(' base', base(mass(greek.listAlphabetSite(text))))
console.log(' fold', mass(greek.listAlphabetFold(text)))
console.log(' site', mass(greek.listAlphabetSite(text)))
console.log(' size', mass(greek.listAlphabetSize(text)))
