# Paragraphs Far from Every Text

> Urantia paragraphs ranked by distance: 1 minus their highest percentile in any text. Subjects that the scriptures do not discuss, such as geology, rank high, so filter by `paperId` or `partId` to compare paragraphs on one subject.

Scores come from the nine world religions texts and the World English Bible. For each text, a paragraph's best match becomes a percentile within that text, after an adjustment for paragraph length. The texts are not independent votes: a paragraph that sounds devotional tends to score well in all of them. These are measures of closeness in meaning by an embedding model, not claims about the teachings.

                        Though the Adjusters volunteer for service as soon as
                        the personality forecasts have been relayed to
                        Divinington, they are not actually assigned until the
                        human subjects make their first moral personality
                        decision. The first moral choice of the human child is
                        automatically indicated in the seventh mind-adjutant and
                        registers instantly, by way of the local universe
                        Creative Spirit, over the universal mind-gravity circuit

                        Spirit of superuniverse jurisdiction, who forthwith

                      text: >-
                        When a world is isolated by rebellion, when a planet is
                        cut off from all outside encircuited communication, as
                        was Urantia after the Caligastia upheaval, aside from
                        personal messengers there remains but one possibility of
                        direct interplanetary or universe communication, and
                        that is through the liaison of the Adjusters of the
                        spheres. No matter what happens on a world or in a
                        universe, the Adjusters are never directly concerned.
                        The isolation of a planet in no way affects the
                        Adjusters and their ability to communicate with any part
                        of the local universe, superuniverse, or the central
                        universe. And this is the reason why contacts with the
                        supreme and the self-acting Adjusters of the reserve
                        corps of destiny are so frequently made on quarantined
                        worlds. Recourse is had to such a technique as a means
                        of circumventing the handicaps of planetary isolation.
                        In recent years the archangels’ circuit has functioned
                        on Urantia, but that means of communication is largely
                        limited to the transactions of the archangel corps
                        itself.
