This book is a definitive study on alchemy in which I provide proof beyond reasonable doubt for the existence of a single specific and replicable chemical procedure and accompanying philosophical theory.Due to the nature of the subject nothing presented is left open to interpretation; every single statement made herein has been carefully considered and accompanied by statistically significant evidence.The research which forms the backbone of this book is an in-depth study of 64 alchemical sources, from which a total of 948 quotations were collected and classified into one or more of 81 different categories. The quotations were then further analyzed for implied statements, 789 of the quotations from 58 of the alchemical sources giving 549 different statements, or premises, about alchemy, of which 205 premises were supported by at least 2 different sources.The result is a database of alchemical quotations which can be browsed by both the category of the quotation and by the premises implied by the quotations. This allows for cross-reference of any alchemical statement, immediately highlighting any agreement or contradiction across the full range of source material.Using a formula for statistical significance, I will utilize the database of quotations in order to isolate 'laws' of alchemy, defined and identified by premises which are present in a statistically significant number of sources.
