Not again! I always beg people to be careful not to disgrace themselves or their profession or field. Only zigglewigler knows and cleverly dodge the issue or measurement of error. Now what is your profession or background.
Chaos is not about mathematics and so is fractal. But Mathematics is only a way of looking at chaos and fractals. Don't go on and start disgracing yourself on this. It is like saying actions or behaviours is mathematics.
But mathematical ways could be very wrong as we have seen from the way you are insisting on numbers now.
Example. Please read previous thread on GammarJammar as market mover. If he move market at a wrong time scale (we have fractals of time as well) you want to know whether that decision is rational or not. You do not need mathematical index to see that his action does not correspond to Genesis 8:22. Why? as at the time he is executing his irrational decision there will be no data to calculate the mathematical index.
Data will only be available after the event. That is why mathematical index are late, lagging and useless to know whether market movers are right or wrong.
Let me lecture you a bit on factals. Fractal is a scale in space to observe events. It has nothing to do with fixed number or index as 1 or 2. Time have fractal, also behaviours have fractals, you find fractals in almost everything and matter that occupies space.
Market cycles have fractals as well, a cycle is also a fractal depending on scale. the earth is a fractal of the solar system, solar system is a fractal of Milky-way . Do you want me to go on? It is God's way of arranging things in the universe
Isaiah 40:15
Surely the nations are like a drop in a bucket;
they are regarded as dust on the scales;
he weighs the islands as though they were fine dust.
You can view such statment as fractal as well. It means nations when view from heaven above are like dot or fractal on a map at that level. Every matter has space it occupied. So when you speak of fractal index, it totally does not fit in for something that actually have space defined by boundaries (See Proverbs 8:29)
all matter also have time it supposed to last. Thus, time too have fractals with boundaries. In all of these descriptions all I need is the space/time matter or event will occur.
If I want to find out whether GammarJammar is righteous in his actions of moving prices, i simply draw out the map/space/limits he can do this, if he is greedy and try to move markets beyond the space and time allow for it. I simply ignore such action as
unrighteous or irrational. I do not need 1 or 2 index to know he is right or wrong.
If he is right I follow, if he s wrong I stay away and let him do what he wants with his greed.
I don't want to answer you on this again, unless you want to ridicule your displine, like so many people have done here. Maths cannot be used for future events. Event must happened before you have data to feed into your equation.
As for the person asking for S&P before he follows; it is not about forecasting the future so that you don't go and hedge it, It is about whether actions of participants are right or wrong. Do you want to hedge S$P 500 with dow?. Will you allow me to rob my snake oil on your face?:cheesy:
Bye it is weekend no more replies bye for now
