An Algorithm for Erdos-Bacon Number Minimization
The idea is to includes enough co-authors (and some actors) to optimize the combinational Erdos-Bacon number. I appreciate that the authors actually filmed a "movie" with someone who was an extra in a movie with Sigourney Weaver, who was in a movie with Bacon, in order to establish an upper-bound of six on their paper.

Simple Systems: A Holistic, Postmodern Alternative to the Oppressive and Outdated Study of Complex Systems
but as theorists from Sartre to Kolmogorov to Jesus have convincingly argued, those who try to understand the essence of complexity using kilogram minds (with apologies to dualists) are doomed to atrophied muscles, bad tempers, and no girlfriends.
- if I'm not mistaken, it straight up plucks the graph diagram from a previous paper on racial graph partition dynamics.

It is worth noting in a smaller font that the language extension does not handle the case that source code appears inside string or regular-expression literals. Another way to put this is that the language extension successfully ferrets out not just uses of the new feature but mentions of it as well.
