The business cycle is not a sinusoid. It’s a fractal. It’s chaotic and oddly correlated. Also, sinusoids are exponentials. ;)

- pineaux 4y agoOh! could you elaborate on this? To me even the name "business cycle" hints towards a cyclical/periodical movement. Sinusoids are not exponentials, sinusoids are periodical. They seem exponential for a short while though. The growthfactor also declines at some point. Could you elaborate on why you think its fractal?
- aoki 4y agoIt's a joke, sinusoids are sums of exponentials when you're talking about complex functions [0]. [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler%27s_formula#Relationship_to_trigonometry https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler%27s_formula#Relationship...
