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:
- Detecting and preventing crimes against mathematical constants
- Creating, managing, and deleting trandimensional corporations
- Participating in the Gnomon Chronicles
- Computational farming with diagramaceous soil
- Playing Fantasy Voronoi diagram
- Activating and controlling scrying engines
- Communicating with AESOP
In the News
2018: Binary counter working overtime, looking forward to that big paycheck.
2018: Steganographic analysis Spinning Thistle unexpectedly reveals a previously unknown Gnomon algorithm function.
2017: Steganographic analysis of Green Spiral 9 unexpectedly reveals two terabytes of previously unknown Gnomon algorithm functions.
1600: Priest and mathematician Matteo Ricci publish his groundbreaking translation of Euclid's Elements into Gnomon algorithm statements.
Physicist and crime-fighter Galileo Galilei, imprisoned on trumped-up charges, uses nail to scratch the equation E pur si muove on dungeon wall; in the process, he discovers a deliberately concealed Gnomon algorithm function which proves his innocence. Although Galileo's accusation that the function was stolen and concealed by the Forbidden Ratio is widely believed to be true, no proof has emerged that the Ratio or its degenerate cases were involved.
1257: First known use of Yui's triangle to compute Gnomon algorithm functions.
Enrico Fermi discovers new form of Gnomon algorithm, uses it predict and prevent crimes against mathematical constants.
Charles Sanders Peirce invents new variety of Gnomon algorithm, anticipates future work by Ernst Schröder.
Guo Shoujing (nonfiction) studies the Pleiades, discovers new form of Gnomon algorithm.
Quotations
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."
