== Commentary ==

Mathematicians are time-traveling superheroes who fight crime and protect us from evil.

== Math criminals ==

Algorithmic paradigms are central to mathematics and computation, making algorithmic paradigms a primary target for [[Crimes against mathematical constants|math criminals]] such as [[Forbidden Ratio]], [[Gnotilus]], and [[Anarchimedes]].

== Detection and prevention of crimes against mathematical constants ==

APTO reviews all '''Gnomonic Registry Events''' ('''GRE'''s) for corruption, spoofing, predatory disauthentication, [[shape theft]], startup of [[transdimensional corporations]], deadly ambiguation, and incipient unlicensed nuclear war, among other [[crimes against mathematical constants]].
