I got curious about the triangles you found in Genesis 1.1. My intuition was that the numbers are based on letter counts, which tend to be very small and clustered around the number 4, and so triangles are probably very common. In G1.1 the numbers are 6,3,5,2,5,3,4 so the average is exactly 28/7 = 4 letters per word.
I hope all is going well with your site-updating efforts.
Your analysis is about what I expected (I've done a little analysis on it too).
However, what's remarkable about the pattern I showed is not the number of triangles found, which as you say is well above average but not enough on its own to raise eyebrows, but the mirroring. I didn't see it myself at first, but that was because I hadn't included the two centred triangles found in the verse by the same method. I see you haven't included them either. Including these two triangles gives a total of eleven triangles, in five pairs, mirrored about the centre of the verse, with T7 in the centre.
The pairs are
T2/T2 in words 2 and 6
T4/T4 over words 2,3,4 and 6,5,4
T5/T5 over words 2,3,4,5 and words 6,5,4,3
The above forms a pattern within the pattern, all involving words 2 and 6 and of course suggesting YHVH. Note that the mirroring is perfect, using the same triangle for each pair.
In addition there are
T3/CT2 in words 1 and 7
T5/CT4 over words 1,2,3,4,5 and words 7,6,5,4,3
This forms the mirrored pattern I showed in my first post and which I've posted again below. I've centered each triangle over the word string that cancels it. So triangle 10 is centred over words 2,3,4 and words 6,5 4.
There's a reason for the mirroring, which I explain in my new book (the version I sent you was before I made this last-minute find).
