Nothing vs Allthing

Abstraction is the process or result of generalization by reducing the information content of a concept or an observable phenomenon, typically in order to retain only information which is relevant for a particular purpose. For example, abstracting a leather soccer ball to a ball retains only the information on general ball attributes and behaviour. Similarly, abstracting an emotional state to happiness reduces the amount of information conveyed about the emotional state. Computer scientists use abstraction to understand and solve problems and communicate their solutions with the computer in some particular computer language.

A physical object (a possible referent of a concept or word) is considered concrete (not abstract) if it is a particular individual that occupies a particular place and time.

Abstract things are sometimes defined as those things that do not exist in reality or exist only as sensory experience, like the color red. That definition, however, suffers from the difficulty of deciding which things are real (i.e. which things exist in reality). For example, it is difficult to agree to whether concepts like God, the number three, and goodness are real, abstract, or both.

An approach to resolving such difficulty is to use predicates as a general term for whether things are variously real, abstract, concrete, or of a particular property (e.g. good). Questions about the properties of things are then propositions about predicates, which propositions remain to be evaluated by the investigator. In the graph 1 above, the graphical relationships like the arrows joining boxes and ellipses might denote predicates. Different levels of abstraction might be denoted by a progression of arrows joining boxes or ellipses in multiple rows, where the arrows point from one row to another, in a series of other graphs, say graph 2, etc.

An abstraction can be seen as a process of mapping multiple different pieces of constituent data to a single piece of abstract data based on similarities in the constituent data, for example many different physical cats map to the abstraction "CAT".

Abstraction in mathematics is the process of extracting the underlying essence of a mathematical concept, removing any dependence on real world objects with which it might originally have been connected, and generalising it so that it has wider applications.

Statistics has its origins in the calculation of probabilities in gambling.

Abstraction is an ongoing process in mathematics and the historical development of many mathematical topics exhibits a progression from the concrete to the abstract.

Finally Felix Klein's "Erlangen program" identified the underlying theme of all of these geometries, defining each of them as the study of properties invariant under a given group of symmetries. This level of abstraction revealed deep connections between geometry and abstract algebra.

Two of the most highly abstract areas of modern mathematics are category theory and model theory.

The advantages of abstraction are :

It reveals deep connections between different areas of mathematics
Known results in one area can suggest conjectures in a related area
Techniques and methods from one area can be applied to prove results in a related area

In group theory, a cyclic group or monogenous group is a group that can be generated by a single element, in the sense that the group has an element g (called a "generator" of the group) such that, when written multiplicatively, every element of the group is a power of g (a multiple of g when the notation is additive).

Modular arithmetic (sometimes called modulo arithmetic, or clock arithmetic) is a system of arithmetic for integers, where numbers "wrap around" after they reach a certain value — the modulus. Modular arithmetic was introduced by Carl Friedrich Gauss in his book Disquisitiones Arithmeticae, published in 1801.

Chinese remainder theorem refers to a result about congruences in number theory and its generalizations in abstract algebra.

The original form of the theorem, contained in a third-century AD book Sun Zi suanjing(The Mathematical Classic by Sun Zi) by Chinese mathematician Sun Tzu and later republished in a 1247 book by Qin Jiushao, Shu shu jiu zhang(Mathematical Treatise in Nine Sections) is a statement about simultaneous congruences (see modular arithmetic).

The first steps in the abstraction of geometry were made by the ancient Greeks, with Euclid being the first person (as far as we know) to document the axioms of plane geometry.

In thermodynamics (a branch of physics), entropy is a measure of the unavailability of a system’s energy to do work.

Forex is a fraud

SO you are an experienced trader or you are just going to start the winning cycle.

There is one thing that you should know from the start.

FOREX IS A FRAUD.

Yes, only brokers win. Entities who created the money system in the first place created Forex.

In many aspects forex is like the ordinary life - the strong eats the weak. You think that cannibalism is an act of the past? Think again. We are in the middle of it.

Modern money (and most ancient money too) is essentially a token — in other words, an abstraction.

So, forex is a tool for trading an abstraction.

Who controls the money?

Let's look into the past.

The great variety of coinages originally in use in the Hellenic world meant that money changing was the earliest and most common form of Greek banking. Usually the money changers would carry out their business in or around temples and other public buildings, setting up their trapezium-shaped tables (which usually carried a series of lines and squares for assisting calculations), from which the Greek bankers, the trapezitai derived their name, much as our name for bank comes from the Italian banca for bench or counter. The close association between banking, money changing and temples is best known to us from the episode of Christ's overturning the tables in the Temple of Jerusalem (Matthew 21.12).

Who is the diety of the money?

In Rome it was Juno.

One of the words for money in the Hebrew language is mammon.

LIMINALITY.

Liminal phenomena are typically transient, ephemeral, and have an affinity for chaos, transition, and instability. They are also usually viewed as slightly disreputable. Ghosts themselves are transient; their manifestations are unpredictable. They are neither solid nor stable. The question of their reality is perennially in dispute.

Can you see some similarities? I definitely can.

So, what is Forex?

It is an illussion - a staged magic - made to distract your attention. You use a BROKER, you use a SOFTWARE. Your attention is focused on many things they setup to give you an impression of understanding. Various sources tell that markets are chaotic in nature. You are reading news, looking at technical indicators - all this is given to you to give you an impression of understanding things.

But where does the quotes come from?

Banks? Brokers?

Where does the news come from?

Governments?

What are you looking to on the screen?

THE SOFTWARE?

Does not look like chaos to me.

A thought crossed my mind - that brokers can form the CARTEL. The target of the CARTEL is to get your money. Not like they really need it - because possibly they have set up the money system in the first place. Their target is you and your personal wealth.

What is the CARTEL? - I don't really know at the moment.

Can it exist? Definitely. And I base my assumption on logic and facts - secret societies existed for a very long time and money served ritual and controlling purpose.

Forex uses one of the most powerful lusts of all - the lust for money. In modern world in many cases it outweights sex, food, drugs and even instinct for survival.

There is a bold difference between virtual trading and real trading.

Many people found that with real money accounts market seems to behave differently.

I have an idea that BROKER might exploit the quantum nature of worlds. Its technology is by definition far more advanced then yours. So, it might use a many-worlds scenario to put you into controllable bubble.

The many-worlds interpretation or MWI (also known as relative state formulation, theory of the universal wavefunction, parallel universes, many-universes interpretation or many worlds), is an interpretation of quantum mechanics. Many-worlds denies the objective reality of wavefunction collapse. Many-worlds then explains the subjective appearance of wavefunction collapse with the mechanism of quantum decoherence. Consequently, many-worlds claims this resolves all the "paradoxes" of quantum theory since every possible outcome to every event defines or exists in its own "history" or "world". In layman's terms, this means that there are an infinite number of universes and that everything that could possibly happen in our universe (but doesn't) does happen in another.

Some of the points stressed by Glyn Davies in his book are:

* Money did not have a single origin but developed independently in many different parts of the world.

* Many factors contributed to its development and if evidence of what anthropologists have learned about primitive money is anything to go by economic factors were not the most important.

* Money performs a variety of functions and the functions performed by the earliest types were probably fairly restricted initially and would NOT necessarily have been the same in all societies.

* Money is fungible: there is a tendency for older forms to take on new roles and for new forms to be developed which take on old roles, e.g. on English banknotes such as the 5 pound notes it says "I promise to pay the bearer on demand the sum of five pounds" and below that it carries the signature of the chief cashier of the Bank of England. This is a reminder that originally banknotes were regarded in Britain, and in many other countries, as a substitute for money and only later did they come to be accepted as the real thing.


"...magicians, if they are strictly ethical, are morally under obligation to insist that their methods are purely natural" (Fitzkee, 1944).



Magick.

Definition from the Wikipedia:

Magick, in the broadest sense, is any act designed to cause intentional change. To change nothing into something and something into something else.
