chaos theory & butterfly effect

 i started this project with a vision "to project market behavior over a short period of time" as i never believed or assumed that you can predict market behavior <period>; especially, over a long-term that most experts do.


 while studying butterfly effect within the context of Chaos theory, here are a few things that i learned:

1. financial markets "may be deterministic" although i really don't use that characteristic in my models, but they are definitely non-linear dynamic systems; i.e. a small change in input conditions can reflect a huge change in output

2. plus, the projection can only be made for really short-term, even with all sorts of caveats, so long-term prediction or projection is not possible


also, its proven that a dual rod pendulum generates vastly different outcome based on slightly different initial conditions; imagine, if i told you that market consists of 9 pendulums swinging simultaneously.

funny things is i didn't know about these characteristics of Chaos theory which i studied recently (as in Sep 2020) while i developed my vision about a decade ago, but now it makes sense to me more so in mathematical context.

If we don't save ACA ... affordable care act ..? Do you see the irony here ... an affordable act and premium are rising ..!
