States of the Day | Morning | Noon | Evening | Night |
States of the Church | Golden Age | Silver Age | Bronze Age | Iron Age |
1 Celestial | 2 Spiritual | 3 Natural | 4 Corporeal | |
TIMES / DAYS / AGE = MENTAL STATES |
Or, another type of quadratic series:

Contempt | Derision | Blasphemy | Profanation | AC 1878 |
Sight | Hearing | Smell | Touch | AC 1880 |

Pre-eminence | Glory | Honor | Gain | AC 2027 |
Property | Honor | Reputation | Life | AC 2126 |
Contempt | Derision | Blasphemy | Profanation | AC 1878 |
There are also rational sets of five in n AC 1862, 1880, 1941, 1944, 2121 and there is a set of six in AC 1884. Many other word sets in the Writings will be discovered when research progresses.
