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.

Iconographies context

During a classroom discussion of Iconographies that Sæculars use to caricature the mathic world, “Burgers” are referenced as influential positions in the Saeculum. In the Rhetors iconography, Unarian maths are claimed to be used to recruit and groom minions for placement into such roles as Burgers. See also Unarian Maths for the specific usage noted in that account.

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).
• Appears in iconographic discourse as a label for influential civic roles in the Saeculum, particularly within the Rhetors iconography where “Burgers” are targets for placement by minions.

Current understanding

The text presents the Burger both as an emblematic figure in carvings and as a term used within iconographic narratives for influential extramuros roles. Beyond these contexts, no formal definition or specific attributes are provided.
