A question for those who solved beale cipher 1

[chalkoutline]

Hello,
The Declaration of independence is a unique document in the sense that it contains no labeling such as Article I Section 4, etc. I have not found another document without labels.

I have a question for those who solved cipher 1: did you include the title page, the words Articles, Section, Chapter, etc. When numbering the documents.

I use a spreadsheet and create different versions of the document; every word numbered, text only, headers not numbered, etc.

Use the key numbering system from Beale letters.

I'm asking how do you number documents when they contain headers and/or chapter names. I typically don't number the headings. For example I wouldn't number either "chapter 10". However, would if it were chapter X. would you number the roman numeral since it could be an "x".

Beale never said the Declaration would solve #1. It is not the correct text.

I agree. One should not expect the DOI to solve Cipher 1.

So when you pick a new doc or book for Cipher 1, most docs, especially books, has a lot more text, indexes, foreword, TOC, Chapter names, Article-Section numbers, etc. I found it difficult to decide on which words to number.

I'm curious if anyone else ran into what words to number or not when using a different book as the key to Cipher 1 and how you delt with the numbering
