      Yes this is a truism of the lore and legend of
    Factor Analysis.
      This is why Hammond's 1994 peer reviewed paper is
    of such seminal importance... it IDENTIFIES the actual
    physical causation of E,N,P,g in Psychometric F.A.
    as being caused by the 3-Geometry axes of the brain.

    [Hammond]
    Being an expert in Factor Analysis of course I know
    all about this. It is in fact this Simple Structure
    maximum hyperplane count rotation that measures the
    "curvature" that causes God in Psychometry.
    It used to be pretty "subjective" in the old days,
    but today these rotations are done purely mathematically
    by large computers (untouched by human hands) so
    they are no longer "subjective". Varimax, Promax,
    Oblimon, and many other hyperplane count algorithms are
    now used to rotate to Simple Structure (maximum pattern
    density).
      Today commercial computer packages such as SPXX will
    iterate the communalities, Factor the matrix, rotate
    the eigenvectors to Simple Structure even for a 100x100
    matrix, on a desktop computer. This has put tens of
    thousands of Psychology researchers in business worldwide,
    and has helped to generate the data that has been used
    to find the scientific proof of God, by the way.

      In this step the eigenvectors are rotated

    My proof of God, naturally, uses all of the data in the
    history of the subject, 100 years of it, including 200,000
    published papers.
      The sum total result of ALL OF IT, is that GOD is in
    fact the single 4th order factor.

    [Hammond]
    LOL. Hammond's result completely and exactly and unequivocally,
    and AXIOMATICALLY confirms the existence of the "God of Christianity".
    Period.

    [Hammond]
    LOL. Hammond's discovery of a "scientific" proof of God explains
    scientifically the Biblical description of God. It is not only
    "consistent" with the Christianity, IT AXIOMATICALLY PROVES CHRISTIANITY,
    for Pete's sake.

    Chief, slow down, you don't know what you are talking about.
    there is a difference between the "Trinity" and the "Quadrature"
    in Religion. (the "Cross" represents the quadrature BTW).
      The "quadrature" is the STRUCTURAL BASIS of God, the "Trinity"
    is the functional (dynamic) description of God.
      The Trinity theory is unnecessary to prove the EXISTENCE of
    God, but my discovery clearly identifies the scientific basis
    of the Trinity. At the risk of confusing the issues, I will
    note here that the "Trinity" is (scientifically) merely the
    "cybernetic loop" that describes the action of God. Most of
    you are familiar with this as "input, output, and feedback".
    This describes, mathematically the dynamic action of God.

       INPUT------->--------------X----------> OUTPUT
                    ^ |
                    | |
                    | |
                     -------------
                       FEEDBACK

                Classic Cybernetic Loop

       FATHER------>--------------X----------> SON
                    ^ |
                    | |
                    | |
                     -------------
                      HOLY GHOST

                   Trinity of God

    As a well known example of the actual SOCIAL PSYCHOLOGY
    manifestation of this, we have the so called "Three Branches
    of Government" which is universal and exists in all 250
    of the World's governments:

     EXECUTIVE------>--------------X----------> LEGISLATIVE
                    ^ |
                    | |
                    | |
                     -------------
                      JUDICIARY

    In other words, the "Three Branches of Government" are
    a DIRECT REPRESENTATION of the Trinity of God.

    On the other hand, the BICAMERAL/TWO-PARTY system, is a
    direct representation of the "quadrature" of the Structural
    Model:

                         Senate | Senate
                         Republicans| Democrats
                                    |
                                    |
                        ------------|-------------
                         House | House
                         Republicans| Democrats
                                    |
                                    |

                         The Bicameral/Two-Party System

                                    |
                            LUKE | JOHN
                                    |
                                    |
                         -----------|----------
                                    |
                            MATT | MARK
                                    |
                                    |

                           Four gospel Canon
                           (Cross structure)
       
    The above two diagrams show how the "quadrature" structure
    of religion (which comes right from the quadrature structure
    of the human brain, BTW), causes both the 4-Gospel Canon,
    and the Bicameral/Two-Party Sytem.
      As you can see, since the "Three Branches" are a (social)
    representation of the TRINITY, and the BI/2P system is a
    (social) representation of the 4-GOSPEL CANON, we see that
    the ENTIRE THEORY OF GOVERNMENT is taken right out of
    CHRISTIANITY verbatim.
      None of this is essential to the scientific proof of God
    that i have discovered BTW, I merely point it out for your
    edification.
