Crimes against mathematical constants

Diagram indicating rise in crimes against mathematical constants.

Crimes against mathematical constants are crimes against mathematical constants (nonfiction) along with other aspects of mathematics (nonfiction).

Many branches of mathematics (nonfiction) have been exploited for criminal purposes: arithmetic, algebra, geometry, statistics, Gnomon algorithm functions, etc.

Math viruses, usually developed and committed in math labs, are used in crimes against Gnomon algorithm functions.

APTO

APTO (the Algorithmic Paradigm Treaty Organization) reviews all Gnomonic Registry Events (GREs) for corruption, spoofing, predatory disauthentication, shape theft, startup of transdimensional corporations, deadly ambiguation, and incipient unlicensed nuclear war, among other conditions.

APTO attempts to detect and prevent all instances of crimes against mathematical constants. Nonetheless, math crimes continue, and so APTO is also a military against involved in both physical and computational combat with the Forbidden Ratio, Gnotilus, Anarchimedes, and other Technical Violants (TVs).

• Illegal number (nonfiction) - a number that represents information which is illegal to possess, utter, propagate, or otherwise transmit in some legal jurisdiction. Any piece of digital information is representable as a number; consequently, if communicating a specific set of information is illegal in some way, then the number may be illegal as well.
• Illegal prime (nonfiction) - a prime number that represents information whose possession or distribution is forbidden in some legal jurisdictions. One of the first illegal primes was found in 2001. When interpreted in a particular way, it describes a computer program that bypasses the digital rights management scheme used on DVDs. Distribution of such a program in the United States is illegal under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. An illegal prime is a kind of illegal number.
