A Three-Dimensional 22³ Phonological Root Space for Biblical Hebrew
Abstract
This record provides a computational and visual model of the Biblical Hebrew triliteral root system represented as a three-dimensional phonological space. The accompanying paper, “A Three-Dimensional 22³ Phonological Root Space for Biblical Hebrew”, defines a structured 22 × 22 × 22 consonantal lattice corresponding to the three root positions (C₁, C₂, C₃) and describes the conceptual motivation, encoding methodology, and analytic affordances of this representation. The included ZIP archive contains the reference implementation used to generate the visualizations discussed in the paper. The code constructs the full combinatorial lattice, encodes attested triliteral roots as three-dimensional coordinates, and produces an interactive HTML visualization of the resulting root space. The HTML file represents a static snapshot of the visualization output generated by the software. The software and visualization are provided as research artifacts supporting reproducibility and further methodological development.
