I have been known to answer to Bob,
Gus and even Jim on occasion. In certain circles I am known as Sir Jim of Bob.
No matter what name you know me by, I am and always will be just 'An
Ordinary Average Guy'.
I know enough to be VERY dangerous. A master of not much and a legend in my own mind.
From the Movie 'PI'
1. Mathematics is the language of nature.
2. Everything around us can be represented and understood through
numbers.
3. If you graph the numbers of any system patterns emerge. Therefore
there are patterns everywhere in nature. The cycling of disease
epidemics, the wax & wane of caribou populations, sunspot cycles, the
rise and fall of the Nile.
4. 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 behind the numbers, right in front of me, hiding behind the
numbers, always has been.
"My new Hypothesis: If we're built from Spirals while living in a
giant Spiral, then is it possible that everything we put our hands to
is infused with the Spiral?"
"The Ancient Japanese considered the Go board to be a microcosm of
the universe. Although when it is empty it appears to be simple and
ordered, in fact, the possibilities of game play are endless. They
say that no two Go games have ever been alike. Just like snowflakes.
So, the Go board actually represents an extremely complex Universe.
"But as the Go game progresses, the possibilities get smaller, the
moves "are" predictable. So maybe there is a Pattern, underneath
every Go game, like in the Stock Market, maybe we are just not
sophisticated enough to see it..."
