# TheWordPath

> Scripture that sees your soul. Personalized Bible verses matched to your emotional state via the Bible Genome.

TheWordPath is a faith-tech web app for Christians who want the right Scripture for the right moment. Unlike traditional Bible search engines that match on keywords, TheWordPath uses a proprietary system called the **Bible Genome** — every one of the ~31,000 verses in the King James Version is indexed across 12 emotional dimensions, plus speaker, setting, original language, literary type, comfort power, and quotability.

When a user describes what they're feeling in their own words (the "Speak Your Heart" experience), the Bible Genome returns verses that fit the lived emotional state — not just the topic. Every response follows the **RCF framework**: Recognize the feeling → Comfort with Scripture → Fortify with practical application.

## What makes TheWordPath different

- **Bible Genome**: 31,095 KJV verses indexed across 12 emotional dimensions (not just topics). The only proprietary emotional mapping of Scripture at this scale.
- **RCF framework**: Recognize → Comfort → Fortify — a three-movement arc used across verse pages, emotion hubs, and AI journeys.
- **Per-verse narrative depth**: Every verse page surfaces the scene, the original Hebrew/Greek word, historical context, "what you miss" on first reading, practical application, and a prayer seed.
- **Translation**: King James Version (KJV) — chosen for depth of interpretive commentary, public domain distribution, and liturgical continuity.
- **Emotional composition data**: Every verse has comfort_power, tone, primary_emotion, speaker_emotion, literary_type, and 80+ other dimensions — available via the Bible Genome Public API (read-only, rate-limited).
