Bohr vs. Miller’s Rules — Per-Chapter Violation Density Heatmap
Visual companion to bohr-vs-millers-rules.md and
bohr-vs-millers-rules-summary.md.
All counts are aggregated from the 280-verse audit; one rule counted once per verse it
is broken.
How to read this
Each row is one chapter of the audit. The bar shows the percentage of verses in that chapter where Bohr breaks at least one Miller rule. The legend:
█ violation block (~10% of chapter width per █)
· rule-compliant block (~10% of chapter width per ·)
Three intensities flag the violation clusters:
- 🟥 Heavy (≥40%) — methodological substitution active
- 🟧 Moderate (15-39%) — repeated divergences within pioneer framework
- 🟨 Light (1-14%) — soft drift, single-issue
- ⬜ Clean (0%) — fully rule-compliant

The Dan 11 column shows only the active-fulfillment span (vv. 36-45) — Bohr is silent or convergent across the first 35 verses.

Bohr stays on it. Bohr stays on it.
Eight chapters at zero violations cluster at the canonical bookends, exactly where the SDA pioneer framework is most foundational and most uncontested. The violations cluster precisely where pioneer historicism is contested within modern Adventism (Eastern Question, four trumpets, France-template, seven-heads enumeration).
Rule-violation distribution (where Bohr breaks the rules)
Rule Count ──────────────────────────────────────────
XIII (49) ████████████████████████████████████████████████ every word fulfilled
XII (32) ████████████████████████████████ trace the figure
XI (30) ██████████████████████████████ literal first
V (24) ████████████████████████ Scripture self-expositor
IV (22) ██████████████████████ no contradiction
I (14) ██████████████ every word bears
VII (5) █████ Bible-fixed symbols
III (2) ██ nothing hidden from faith
IX/X (2) ██ multiple significations
II (1) █ all scripture necessary
XIV (1) █ willingness to lose all
VI (0) ░ recapitulation
VIII (0) ░ parables as figures
The historicist core (XIII + XII + XI) accounts for 111 of ~182 total rule-breaks (~61%). Add Rule V — the rule whose violation enables the substitution of Were’s extra-biblical principle — and the four rules together account for ~74% of all violations. These four rules are precisely what distinguishes pioneer historicism from futurism, preterism, and idealism.
