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.

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."
