# Text Words Possible Correspondences Type
Important: This tool identifies possible literary correspondences. A computer can detect textual symmetry, repeated concepts, similar wording, contrasts, and positional patterns, but it cannot prove that an author intentionally constructed a chiasmus.

A strong candidate should normally contain meaningful correspondences, an identifiable inverted order, and a coherent literary unit rather than merely coincidental repeated words.
