Gnomon algorithm

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

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
