In Part I, I discussed The Intelligent Universe, by James Gardner. Specific takeaways for CASTrader, mostly in my words, not Gardners:
- Evolution really is the ultimate computer algorithm. It has the best hope of advancing the software at a rapid enough pace to take advantage of the hardware, as well as discovery.
- Evolution is pervasive and much greater than Darwin imagined: Gardner thinks the universe is an evolutionary organism making babies with physical laws as DNA. The human mind is an evolutionary playground of ideas, including mathematics - we are enticed by something to explore it. Perhaps evolution is the ultimate fractal property of the universe, self similar across dimensional and even conceptual scales. By extension, financial markets would be expected to evolve.
