Question

I'm trying to statistical synthetize a meaning from particular view points

Answer 1

hmmm the script is english... but i m not sure abt the words.... would you translate that for me..

Answer 2

Are you trying to get some information about alchemy? What you write seem related to that field although you don't seem to be in full control of the subject, or else, you want to make it sound cryptical and unnecessarily so.

I f your question is truly related to alchemy, materia prima is the first material you use to eventually get the philosopher's stone. I fail to see what kind of statistics you'll wind up with when getting that answer, though.

Answer 3

Opus Magnum sounds alchemical. In Eastern (or philosophical, if you prefer) alchemy the "materia prima" or "first matter" is the self. European alchemists refer to it (first matter) as "vitriol", but noone agrees on exactly what that is,because it's not ordinary vitriol.
