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)
