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

1600: Priest and mathematician Matteo Ricci publish his groundbreaking translation of Euclid's Elements into Gnomon algorithm statements.
2018: Steganographic analysis Spinning Thistle unexpectedly reveals a previously unknown Gnomon algorithm function.
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.
