	The Gnomon
		The systematic errors of the gnomon are mainly constant ones.
		If the gnomon points to the celestial pole instead of being vertical, the shadow moves uniformly with the hour angle of the sun, as in the equatorial dial shown in the picture, which is at Cranmer Park in Denver, Colorado.
		With a permanent gnomon, properly fixed, the instant of apparent noon could be obtained and compared with the standard time, thereby finding the equation of time and the variations in the sun's motion through the year.

	Gnomon - LoveToKnow 1911
		GNOMON, the Greek word for the style of a sundial, or any object, commonly a vertical column,.
		In geometry, a gnomon is a plane figure formed by removing a parallelogram from a corner of a larger parallelogram; in the figure Abcdefa is a gnomon.
		Gnomonic projection is a projection of a sphere in which the centre of sight is the centre of the sphere.

	Gnomon description
		Gnomon uses a set of heuristics to find the maximal self-consistent set of corresponding transcript and protein alignment data to set the constraints for an Hidden Markov Model(HMM)-based gene prediction.
		Using this set of heuristics Gnomon predicts the gene structure in genomic DNA sequences in a multistep fashion.
		For the protein alignments, Gnomon checks that the predicted gene has every exon in the right frame as suggested by the protein alignment, although in this case, the program is free to choose the splice sites and to introduce other exons between parts of the protein alignment.

	Read This: Gnomon: From Pharaohs to Fractals
		The most familiar form of a gnomon is the L-shaped object of that name (the gnomon of a square) that serves as the pointer on most sundials.
		The gnomon of the n-th triangular number, in its familiar rows-of-dots manifestation, is a row of n+1 dots.
		These lead naturally into physics, where ladder networks of resistors or capacitors are gnomonic, and their analysis leads back through continued fractions.

	Les origines de la géométrie
		Euclide appelle gnomon ce complément coudé d'un carré que les charpentiers nomment communément une équerre, mot de métier qui décrit à merveille l'extraction d'un carré au beau milieu de son angle droit en creux.
		Selon le gnomon, disaient les Anciens: cela voulait dire verticalement.
		Or le gnomon se dessine par nombres entiers, impairs et pairs: le petit esclave les a suivis.

	The Unified Field of Gnosis
		From the simple gnomon of two expanding into four, (which is also 1 into three times four) we can also unpack the basic length, or 2D, oriented generative irrationals, the square root of two and Phi.
		In this sense, the eight-sided gnomon is indeed the essence of gnosis, since it describes a kind of knowing about that which can be never be known precisely, the irrational numbers.
		The developed geometry of the gnosis gnomon structurally inter-relates systems as diverse as the I Ching, the DNA transfer code, the Mayan calendar, the houses of the Zodiac and the kabbalistic Tree of Life.

	The Sundial Primer - The Wide Gnomon
		The double noon lines are spaced a distance equal to the thickness of the gnomon and this space is known as the noon gap.
		If the thickness of the gnomon is ignored and the hour lines originate from a single dial centre there will be an error introduced into the reading of the sundial.
		Compensating for the thickness of the gnomon is not difficult.

		You need to determine the length of the gnomon's shadow at solar noon on the summer solstice when the sun is at its maximum altitude.
		You need to determine the length of the gnomon's shadow at solar noon on the winter solstice when the sun is at its minimum altitude.
		To determine how large the gnomon should be first establish the distance from the dial origin to the noon hour line marker.

	Sundials on the Internet - Gnomon or style
		However, contention now advises that gnomon should be used for the physical structure and style for the geometrical point or edge which casts the shadow.
		The base of the style or substyle is the attachment of the gnomon to the dial plate, and the perpendicular style is the height of the nodus.
		From midnight to noon the sun is on the right of the gnomon, and from noon to midnight on the left, the transitions from one side to the other being made at noon and midnight.

	NASS FAQ - Glossary
		The gnomon today is most-often polar pointing (sometimes described as an "axial gnomon"), although it may also be horizontal or vertical.
		It may take the form of a small sphere or a notch on a polar-pointing gnomon, or it may be the tip of a gnomon with an arbitrary (usually horizontal or vertical) orientation.
		If the gnomon is in the form of a long rod, the style will be the virtual line running along the centre of the rod and the dial is read by estimating the centre of the shadow.

	gnomon
		The Pythagoreans treated "gnomon" as a unit or building-block of a pattern; thus, the odd number is a gnomon of a triangular number pattern.
		Using gnomon as a "building-block" of numbers, Pythagoras-L developed the geometric theory of numbers, giving us such labels as "squares" for 4, 9, 16, 25, etc., and "cubes" for 8, 27, 64, 125, etc., because he created these numbers as 2-D squares of dots or 3-D squares of dots.
		An important hiconek of gnomonics is found in the science of crystallography, which explains beautiful jewelry, the molecular structure of pharmaceuticals and other chemical achievements, the creation of synthetic insulin, and the transistor.

		If this is done, the observations can be made at 5-minute intervals for a period of 20 to 30 minutes, but the observations must be done at the same time of day, and a minimum of 20 observations throughout the course of five months should be made.

		Be prepared for slow going: Gnomon is densely packed with information and concepts foreign to all but the professional mathematician, but Gazale's enthusiasm and brilliant illustrations win the day.
		According to Gazale', "Hero of Alexandria defined the gnomon as that figure (a number or a geometric figure) which, when added to another figure, results in a figure similar to the original." Gazale's book is, therefore, about self-similarity in numbers and geometry.
		This is followed by explicit formulae for the terms of the sequence and even a demonstration of how some of these equations, in the limit, model the behavior of wave propagation in an electronic transducer ladder, and the movement of a ganged series of pulleys.
