Quote:
12:45, 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.
~Maximillian Cohen (Sean Gullette), Pi (1998)
