The Gnomon algorithm is a family of mathematical functions (nonfiction) which convert computation (nonfiction) into force (nonfiction).

Applications

Mathematicians use Gnomon algorithm functions for a variety of purposes:

Alice Beta observes:

If we corrupt the Gnomon algorithm configuration files, all Hell breaks loose. If we fail to prevent our enemies from corrupting the configuration files, all Hell breaks loose. The files appear to be immortal and self-correcting; but we could be wrong about this, and some of us think the files are like an ecosystem, or an artificially intelligent radioisotope network: a fluctuating feature of the universe which we should, perhaps, consider taming, much as agriculture tamed food and industry tamed machines -- which is to say, agriculture tamed famine, and industry tamed the fragility of existence."
