## The Authors The following is a brief outline of the five sources believed to have authored the document known as `sudocode`. ### J: The Junior - The young fiery storyteller and virtuoso pedagogue. - Heavy emphasis on premathematics. - Stormy War-like personality. - Very developer centric. - Highly in-group focused. - Most mentions of Our People (capitalized) believed to be J. - Contains harshest criticisms of existing pedagogy. - Most likely to violate any given convention or norm. - Most rebellious Author. ### E: The Elder - Elder. - Educator. - Explainer. - Emphasis on pre-mathematics, but not exclusively. - Extremely calm and dispassionate compared to J. - Eלדer Hypothesis: some have argued this author is simply an older version of J. - Explanatory methods and writing styles highly varied. - Experiments with genre far more than any other Author. - Expression most poly-stylistic (LaTeX, Code, Prose, Footnotes, etc.) ### R: The Redactor - Redactor (in the Biblical Archaeoloy sense meaning Editor, not censor). - Ruthless in cutting things out. - Retcons other sections to make the Narrative fit together. - Rewrites earlier sections in Mono. (When originals were Sans or Serif.) - Rarely speaks. ### D: The Developer - Difference from the other Authors' style is immediately clear. - Definitely from a later generation than the others. - Diaspora era writing style (e.g., after the decline of academia.) - Diction suggests age in early to mid twenties at the time of writing. - Development style suggests a writer living in the Software 2.0 Era. - D is the only Author who appears to be aware of @2. - Deemed to be a latter-day fanfiction style addition to an earlier version of Sudocode ### P: The Professional - Professional, Procedural, Precise. - Patents, copyrights, legalese, legal latin. (Supra, Ibid., Loc. cit., Op. cit.) - Pull Requests, begat lists, and boilerplate almost exclusively come from here. - Pictures of sources used extensively rather than citations. - Plagiarism accusations surround these sections due to inclusion of external works. - Pedagogically distinct style from the other Authors. - Pretty verbose in places. - Probably middle-aged or older at the time of writing. - Probably the latest source, historically speaking.
