Primary Datum

Datum: the New Testament densely quotes, echoes, and rereads the Old Testament around Jesus and the gospel.

Scoring / Hypothesis Pressure

Hypothesis	log10BF	Min	Max	Rationale
`H-CHRIST-AS-LOGOS`	0.04	0.01	0.07	The intertextual matrix gives small support to Logos/canonical synthesis as a pattern, not a standalone proof.
`H-CHRIST-IDENTITY`	0.05	0.02	0.08	Dense OT-to-NT intertextuality modestly supports historically embedded Christ-identity interpretation, but authorial crafting and selection effects cap the value.

Counter-Pressure

title: Intertextual matrix: OT in the NT (coherence pattern) is a bounded signal, not a standalone proof.
text: The strongest caution is overuse. Typology is not the same as prediction, and it can be overread if original contexts are ignored. This row should be read inside its dependency family, not treated as an isolated demonstration of God, Christ, or the final synthesis.
path: Start with what the row actually shows, then name what it does not show. Use it as canonical convergence, not as independent proof stacked on top of every child text.

Apologetic Note

label: Apologetic leverage
title: Intertextual matrix: OT in the NT (coherence pattern) moves the map from God to Christ the Logos.
key point: The New Testament's dense network of Old Testament quotations, allusions, and typological echoes modestly supports Christ-identity and Logos-shaped canonical coherence, while remaining. The leverage is Christ-specific: creation, revelation, wisdom, and divine mediation are gathered around the Son rather than left as a vague Logos idea.
conversation move: After upstream theism is on the table, ask where the biblical pattern locates ultimate reason and revelation. These texts say the center is not an abstraction, but Christ Himself.
caveat: Do not use one passage as a shortcut around interpretation. The strength is canonical convergence around Christ the Logos.

Caveats / Notes

Cap notes: Typology/canonical-pattern rows are capped support under the intertextual matrix.
Cap profile note: Support-layer rows stay small even when visible and inspectable.
Cluster note: Intertextual matrix row migrated away from H-ALT-LEGEND proxy scoring. Treat as capped synthesis/coherence evidence.
Scoring note: Intertextual matrix row migrated away from H-ALT-LEGEND proxy scoring. Treat as capped synthesis/coherence evidence.
Governance note: Capped under E-SCR-INTERTEXT-MATRIX / Luke 24 canonical-pattern family.
