This paper presents a comprehensive morphological analysis of divine name usage in the Torah (Pentateuch), demonstrating through 131 statistically significant findings across 44 sections that the divine names יהוה (YHWH) and אלהים (Elohim) function as morphological state indicators within a single, self-describing compositional system — not as signatures of independent documentary sources.Key findings include:10/10 statistical Z-score tests survive Bonferroni correction (Z = 3.35–50.9)Composite stylometric score: 6/7 = 86% of measures identical between divine name modes26/27 function words (gold standard of authorship attribution) have identical frequenciesName-prediction classifier achieves only 0.1% above baseline — names are independent mode switches, not authorial style markersShannon entropy identical in both modes (Δ = 0.014 bits)Foundation% slope across Torah = 0.0005 (stable base text despite dramatic name distribution shift)99.5% of all Torah verses (5,817/5,846) contain all 4 letter groupsDocumentary Hypothesis fails 8/9 counterfactual predictionsCross-validation confirms all patterns hold in both independent halves of the TorahThe divine name system encodes a complete theological word map, with Love + Torah = Israel (the complete 4-group system)Companion paper to: "Structurally Constrained Morphological Patterns in the Torah" (DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.18744642)
