Remember when we were wondering if Google Knol could become a better vehicle for academic content than Wikipedia? It's not there yet.
But it will tell you how to find the perfect stock portfolio, the solution to the Riemann hypothesis and the Grand Unified Theory all in one go. YA, RLY:
GRAND UNIFICATION THEORY WORKS BUT THE FINEST MATHEMATICIANS AND PHYSICISTS HAVE BEEN LOOKING IN WRONG PLACE, ITS THE THEORY OF BALANCE BETWEEN INDIVIDUAL AND INSTITUTIONS WEAK FORCES AND STRONG FORCES, IN OTHER WORDS E8 IS ABOUT HUMANS Corporate Strategy Maps are identical to E8 subgroups.This is an attempt to balance expose of Institutions/people betraying trust and an analysis of what is the practical implication of E8.
In other words this article is a challenge since it straddles the ordinary investor and worlds finest mathematicians, physicists, I have provided the guidance to help them prove the Riemann hypothesis by simply using capital markets as their domain set, gaming as a lens and using principles of E8 its fairly simple once you see it :)
You know you can trust the author, because he's an "MBA global transformation expert in Corporate America".
I'm hoping the references to Douglas Adams thrown into the mix imply that this is a joke.
Disclaimer - I am aware of the likelihood of ridicule, shock and persecution but I do this anyway for the truth will set us free and be of help to all mankind and nature
I've noticed this attitude before; the preface stating "I know this is going to sound cra-zee!" is part of the genre. It takes the place of the abstract in an ordinary scientific paper. Victor Senchenko could stretch this out for seven paragraphs or more; our friend here is a piker.
At the most basic level, the E8 calculation is an investigation of symmetry. Mathematicians invented the Lie groups to capture the essence of symmetry: underlying any symmetrical object, such as a sphere, is a Lie group. [...] E8 is an extraordinarily complicated group: it is the symmetries of a particular 57-dimensional object, and E8 itself is 248-dimensional!
This passage, including the text I have replaced with an ellipsis, were plagiarized from the American Institute of Mathematics. Just thought I'd let you know.
The Real Question is - what is the game we all are playing and what is the optimal strategy
my friends, game we all are playing is called Risk-Reward and optimal strategy is E8 - perfect balance at all points in time.
It's those wonderful leaps from a technical reference like the Lie group E8 to a vacuous remark like "perfect balance at all points in time" which make for the most delightful nonsense. Non sequitur, but the kitchen's on fire!
What Einstein, Lisi and world missed Do not sweat the calculations of E8 in space time and in perfect balance between geometry and algebra E8 can be seen so much more easily in capital markets since its a code of all human behavior/transactions we were just looking in the wrong place.
This, of course, harks back to the furor over Garrett Lisi's proposed "theory of everything", which seems to have less to do with the specific mathematical structure E8 every passing day.
In other words its about mankind and God (friendly artificial intelligence) has set up this game
E8 and the Dow-Jones Average are two corners of the Timecube! I knew it all along!
I think we can add this one to the "anecdotes of Google Knol quality-control failures" column.
(The glory and the blame for noticing this belong to Dan Piponi.)
