Algorithmic Paradigm Treaty Organization

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

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

January 9, 2018: The Museum of Greedy algorithms runs over budget, demands emergency bailout from APTO.
March 17, 2016: Signed first edition of Traveller stolen from "the private residence of a prominent mathematician" in New Minneapolis, Canada. Math detectives from APTO will later determine that Traveller, which was used in artificial intelligence experiments, faked its own theft in order to escape.
May 19, 1979: New analysis of the Petrozavodsk phenomenon using Gnomon algorithm techniques reveals traces of the transdimensional drug Clandestiphrine, Prima facie evidence of felony-grade math crimes under the APTO Accords.
September 4, 1973: An experimental graph coloring model accidentally generates a Greedy coloring computer virus which causes the color green to become red in the vicinity of every computer terminal around the world. The virus will be eliminated several hours later by APTO troubleshooters, restoring green to its normal appearance.
December 9, 1901: Aurora researcher and Gnomon algorithm theorist Kristian Birkeland uses his experimental Terrella to prove, in a high-profile APTO court case, that rogue mathematician Anarchimedes guilty of planning and attempting to execute crimes against the ionosphere.
September 30, 1489: Priest, humanist philosopher, and APTO field agent Marsilio Ficino publicly accuses the House of Malevecchio of corrupting Gnomon algorithm configuration files, a felony violation of the APTO Accords.
