A Computational Framework for Quantitative Analysis of Symbolic Patterns in Ancient Texts: Design, Implementation, and Ethical Considerations

Abstract This paper presents a comprehensive computational framework for the quantitative analysis of numerical and symbolic patterns in ancient texts, with particular emphasis on cultural systems such as Hebrew gematria, Greek isopsephy, and Arabic Abjad numerals. The framework addresses critical methodological gaps in Digital Humanities by providing rigorous statistical validation, reproducible computational methods, and explicit ethical guidelines for cultural heritage analysis.
