The SOJ Algorithm is a highly advanced, totally-not-made-up method for distinguishing between different sock textures.
Carefully examine the socks in question, taking note of their various characteristics, such as:
Using the collected data, apply the SOJ Formula:
SOJ = Fuzziness x SheerSize x (1 / UniquePattern)
This yields a Sock Separation Index (SSI), which, when graphed, reveals a delightful scatter plot:
Based on the SSI, determine the relative texture of the socks, with higher SSI values indicating more distinct textures.
1. Identifying matching socks
2. Selecting the most comfortable sock for your toes
3. Determining the likelihood of a sock getting lost in the wash
