Burger

The Burger is mentioned as one of several archetypal figures depicted in carvings and other crafted details that line the walkways and buildings around a cloister garden within a Decenarian math of the mathic world. It appears in a list of “general types” alongside the Deolater, the Physiologer, and the Sline, used as subjects for decorative motifs.

First noted context

While passing through the cloister—a roofed gallery surrounding a garden—the narrator observes that many objects bear carved designs. These include depictions of historical individuals as well as emblematic figures representing general roles or types, among them “the Burger.” No further description of the Burger’s appearance is given in the text at this point.

Role and usage

• Functions as a named archetype in mathic decorative art, grouped with other general types (e.g., the Deolater, the Physiologer, the Sline).
• Serves as part of the iconography that adorns cloister-adjacent spaces such as library doors, columns, and other crafted elements.

Current understanding

The text does not define the Burger beyond its inclusion as a general type used in carvings. Its specific attributes or societal associations have not been explained. Further details may emerge as more is revealed about mathic iconography and terminology.
