 The full picture is not fully understood until all the pieces are overlaid, though a pretty good picture is formed with a few of the transparencies. Scripture is used this way to point back to the original seeds of an idea; the letters.
-Each letter has a fractal expansion to teach us the meaning intended by God. They each have several expansions, because each letter expresses several ideas.

 =Metaphor=
-The metaphor of each letter is a big idea. All that God created, all that we can think or say is contained in twenty-seven of the twenty-eight letters. It is a mistake to think that a letter represents a word rather than an idea. There is not a simple decoder ring. You must learn to think in metaphor.

 If I say "he met his Waterloo", it is a reference to Napolean's defeat at Waterloo. In the most simplistic way, it simply refers to a defeat. But understanding it in the most simple way loses much of the rich idea that is being communicated. Napolean was overconfident, he was ill-prepared, and he met an opponent that was not easily scared away by Napolean's reputation. A more subtle reference might be that the supply lines were too long. This is thinking in metaphor. The reference has many ways that it could be expressed or many subtle ideas upon which to focus.
-There are primary and secondary metaphor. Distinguishing between them is not a critical skill unless a detailed proof is required. Generally, these detailed proofs will be desired by those in academic pursuits which would be tedious for the rest.  Occasionally, when a metaphor is stated in a way which is not immediately recognizable, a brief explanation may be required.

 :2. The meaning of the letters must be expressions of the same metaphor in every word they are used.
 :3. The meaning of the word must plausibly be able to be constructed using the metaphor of the letters within.

 You may solve the puzzle using the strokes and building letters, or by reverse engineering over 8000 Hebrew words to the meaning of the letters within.
