PREFACE
This algorithmic biography book records the Saga of Civil Engineer Ove Trygve Schoyen , born in Ullensaker, Norway, January 10th, 1936. A gift for his 90th birthday. It is based on direct conversations conducted over several years, supported by documents, records, external psychological assessments from different time periods, press interviews and historical sources. The material has been recorded as it was given. No interpretation has been added. The events in this book are presented in sequence. They are not arranged to create a story, explain motives, or provide a conclusion. They are presented as they occurred, across more than ninety years. Over time, repeated behavior becomes visible. Patterns emerge. Some choices recur. Others disappear. In these pages, these patterns are referred to as The Algorithm .
There are no lessons. Only what is repeated.
A life can be viewed as a sequence of decisions made under constraint. When observed across a full span of time, intention becomes less important than what is repeated.
