Emica: 9:13 Personal note: When I was a little girl, my mother told me not to stare into the sun. So once when I was 6 I did. The doctors didn't know if my eyes would ever heal. I was terrified, alone in that darkness. Slowly, daylight crept in through the bandages, and I could see. But something else had changed inside me. That day, I had my first headache.

Harumi: Emica, Emica, can we do one?

Emica: Harumi

Harumi: What's 322 times 491?

Emica: 158,102. Right?

Harumi: Right! OK, 73 divided by 22?

Emica: 3.318...18...18...18...18...18...18

12:45 Restate my assumptions:


 * 1) Mathematics is the language of nature
 * 2) Everything around us can be represented understood through numbers
 * 3) 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 human 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.
