"most explanations other than cooperative self-organization fail to account for the subtle bubbles by which the markets lay the groundwork for catastrophe."

 

The scientific study of complex systems has transformed a wide range of disciplines in recent years, enabling researchers in both the natural and social sciences to model and predict phenomena as diverse as earthquakes, global warming, demographic patterns, financial crises, and the failure of materials. In this book, Didier Sornette boldly applies his varied experience in these areas to propose a simple, powerful, and general theory of how, why, and when stock markets crash.

 

Most attempts to explain market failures seek to pinpoint triggering mechanisms that occur hours, days, or weeks before the collapse. Sornette proposes a radically different view: the underlying cause can be sought months and even years before the abrupt, catastrophic event in the build-up of cooperative speculation, which often translates into an accelerating rise of the market price, otherwise known as a "bubble." Anchoring his sophisticated, step-by-step analysis in leading-edge physical and statistical modeling techniques, he unearths remarkable insights and some predictions--among them, that the "end of the growth era" will occur around 2050.

Beating The Market By Running With Elephants

Kai Petainen, adjunct finance lecturer and trading floor manager at the University of Michigan's Ross Graduate School of Business, has spent the past 10 years building a model to predict which stocks institutional investors are going to find attractive. By anticipating where the elephants of the investing world are going to run next, Kai’s Marketocracy model portfolio has averaged over 15% a year for more than 9 years.

Automatic Emergence Detection in Complex Systems

We provide an alternative definition of emergence in complex systems derived as follows: Given some target variable, we query its state on the subsystem models learned from corresponding datasets and group their opinions into majority and minority sets. Then we observe its state at the entire system level. If its true state (observed over the entire system) is different from the majority opinion given by subsystems, we consider this situation as emergent. This is like the one given by predictive approaches in that it “cannot be predicted even by individuals who possess thorough knowledge of the parts of this system.”

Experiments on synthetic datasets show that our proposed method can detect emergence over extant approaches. We also show that our proposed algorithm has polynomial time complexity for all three phases of learning, fusion, and reasoning.

Elephant movement closely tracks precipitation-driven vegetation dynamics in a Kenyan forest-savanna landscape...."elephants respond quickly to changes in forage and water availability, making migrations in response to both large and small rainfall events. The elevational migration of individual elephants closely matched the patterns of greening and senescing of vegetation in their home range. Elephants occupied lower elevations when vegetation activity was high, whereas they retreated to the evergreen forest at higher elevations while vegetation senesced. Elephant home ranges decreased in size, and overlapped less with increasing elevation."

Elephants threatened by poachers are evolving to become nocturnal so they can travel safely at night

Normally elephants forage for food and migrate in daylight and rest at night

But a rise in illegal hunting has forced elephants in Kenya to change their habits

Most poaching occurs in the daytime, forcing elephants into nocturnal patterns

African elephant numbers have fallen by around 111,000 to 415,000 over the past decade due to ivory poachers

Discrete scale invariance and complex dimensions

Abstract: We discuss the concept of discrete scale invariance and how it leads

to complex critical exponents (or dimensions), i.e. to the log-periodic corrections to

scaling. After their initial suggestion as formal solutions of renormalization group

equations in the seventies, complex exponents have been studied in the eighties in

relation to various problems of physics embedded in hierarchical systems. Only recently

has it been realized that discrete scale invariance and its associated complex

exponents may appear “spontaneously” in euclidean systems, i.e. without the need

for a pre-existing hierarchy. Examples are diffusion-limited-aggregation clusters, rupture

in heterogeneous systems, earthquakes, animals (a generalization of percolation)

among many other systems. We review the known mechanisms for the spontaneous

generation of discrete scale invariance and provide an extensive list of situations where

complex exponents have been found. This is done in order to provide a basis for a

better fundamental understanding of discrete scale invariance. The main motivation

to study discrete scale invariance and its signatures is that it provides new insights

in the underlying mechanisms of scale invariance. It may also be very interesting for

prediction purposes.

Complex Exponents and Log-Periodic Corrections in Frustrated Systems

Abstract

Recently, it has been observed that rupture processes in highly disordered media and earthquakes exhibit universal log-periodic corrections to scaling. We argue that such corrections should actually be present in a wide class of disordered systems and provide a theoretical framework to handle them. At the naivest level, a natural explanation for log-periodic corrections is discrete scale invariance, a notion qualitatively similar to the concept of “lacunarity”. However in nature, any such structure would be largely perturbed by disorder. We therefore investigate first the effect of disorder on the log-periodic corrections. Remarkably, we find that they are generally robust. We discuss a variety of disorder associated effects, like renormalization of the log-periodic frequencies. We then propose a general explanation based on the fact that a discrete fractal is actually a fractal with complex dimension, and then that complex critical exponents should generally be expected in the field theories that describe geometrical systems, because the latter are non unitary. We discuss detailed features of non unitary theorie, and present evidence of complex exponents in lattice animals, a simple geometrical generalization of percolation, which can be argued to be associated with rupture. Finally, we extend our discussion to more general frustrated systems. We reemphasize that the non-unitarity, generated here by the averaging over disorder, can lead to complex exponents, as were actually found earlier in some $\epsilon$ expansion approaches. More physically, since replica symmetry breaking is described by an ultrametric tree, it may naturally lead to discrete scale invariance, albeit not in real space but in replica space. We then study a dynamical model describing transitions between states in a hierarchical system of barriers modelling the energy landscape in the phase space of meanfield spinglasses, that leads again to log-periodic corrections. We conclude by mentioning a few physical cases where we think log-periodic corrections should be observable.

Lacunarity is a counterpart to the fractal dimension that describes the texture of a fractal. It has to do with the size distribution of the holes. Roughly speaking, if a fractal has large gaps or holes, it has high lacunarity; on the other hand, if a fractal is almost translationally invariant, it has low lacunarity.

Lacunarity - Wikipedia

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lacunarity

Lacunarity, from the Latin lacuna meaning "gap" or "lake", is a specialized term in geometry referring to a measure of how patterns, especially fractals, fill space, where patterns having more or larger gaps generally have higher lacunarity.
