How to read the report
Pshat, remez, drash, sod: the four levels of reading — and of your report
The Jewish tradition of reading a text has four depths. The products of SAPIR 861 are built along the same four — from the free number to the full analysis.
Four words, four depths
Pshat is the plain sense. Remez is the hint, what the text points to. Drash is interpretation, working with the details. Sod is the depth, the hidden layer. Together their initials form the word PaRDeS — "orchard." This is the classic map of how a text is read in the Jewish tradition.
Our levels are built the same way
The free calculation on the home page is pshat: one number, the plain sense of a name. The single report adds remez and drash: hints, details, the Torah page, the attestations. Sod — the fourth level — is set apart as a product of the same name: all nine systems, the lineage code, the circle map. The levels build up; they do not repeat one another.
Why know this in advance
Understanding the four levels means you don't overpay for what you don't need. If the plain number is enough, take the free one and stop there — we say so plainly. Going deeper is worth it only when you truly need the full picture. The honest line between levels is part of the method, not the marketing.
Try it on your own name
Each article describes part of the method. The free calculation on the home page shows these numbers for your own name, with the arithmetic open under each one.
