OVE'S ALGORITHM (OS) | Final Extraction Report
Sequential patterns multiply the behavioral complexity: 12 modules in 2-step sequences = 132 patterns; 3-step sequences = 1,320 patterns.
4.3.4 The Preservation Principle The generative nature of the OS architecture has profound implications for digital preservation:
Capturing the 12 modules preserves 4,000+ behavioral data patterns identified. This is the Algorithm (OS) for Ove T. Schoyen - not a model, but the operating system that produced 90 years of consistent decisions.
This is why architectural extraction, not trait listing, is essential for digital preservation. Traits are static. An algorithm is generative - it produces behavior across contexts not yet encountered.
