Restate my assumptions: One, Mathematics is the language of nature. Two, Everything around us can be represented and understood through numbers. Three: If you graph the numbers of any system, patterns emerge. Therefore, there are patterns everywhere in nature. Evidence: The cycling of disease epidemics;the wax and wane of caribou populations; sun spot cycles; the rise and fall of the Nile. So, what about the stock market? The universe of numbers that represents the global economy. Millions of hands at work, billions of minds. A vast network, screaming with life. An organism. A natural organism. My hypothesis: Within the stock market, there is a pattern as well... Right in front of me... hiding behind the numbers. Always has been.

- IvyMike 13y agoThis comment had an interesting score trajectory. It's a quote from the movie "Pi", which has a protagonist who goes mad trying to find order in randomness. Which is kind of the point of the linked story, too. The comment went up to 6 when I first posted it, and it's now at negative 2. Maybe morning folks think April Fools is serious business. (Admittedly it's a fluff comment that I would not normally post but on the other hand it's no more fluffy than the story itself.)
