Wright, Phillip: Computational Acoustic Optimization of Ancient Modular Architectures: A Finite Element Analysis of the Ezekiel 10:5:4 Geometry

This paper presents a computational acoustic analysis of the 10:5:4 modular ratio derived from architectural specifications in the Book of Ezekiel (Chapters 40-48). By subjecting these dimensions to finite element method (FEM) and ray-tracing simulation, this study identifies a statistically significant local maximum (3.2\sigma performance gap) in acoustic quality factors. The findings suggest the presence of intentional geometric optimization in the specifications, challenging the consensus reg
