Algorithmic Paradigm Treaty Organization

APTO monitor in Gnomon algorithm lair (status Blue).

The Algorithmic Paradigm Treaty Organization (APTO) is a licensed transdimensional corporation comprising mathematicians and Gnomon algorithm engineers who monitor and safeguard algorithmic paradigms using Gnomon algorithm functions and technology.

Math criminals

Algorithmic paradigms are central to mathematics and computation, making algorithmic paradigms a primary target for math criminals such as Forbidden Ratio, Gnotilus, and Anarchimedes.

Detection and prevention of crimes against mathematical constants

APTO 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 crimes against mathematical constants.
