Jus valorum. I always suspected a few of you posted here. Which one of you is responsible for indoctrinating /prog/ onto the worship of our Grand Wizard?
I don't know what the guy who invented coconuts was thinking.

The Lambda Calculus was developed by Alonzo Church in the 1930s and published in 1941 as "The Calculi Of Lambda Conversion". It became important, along with Turing machines, in the development of computation theory, and is the theoretical basis of all functional programming languages, such as Lisp, Haskell and ML.
Functions in lambda calculus are very different from those in imperative programming languages (such as Java and C). In an imperative programming language the evaluation of a function can have side effects, affecting future evaluations of that function or other functions. In lambda calculus a function does not "return" a result based on its parameters - instead the function and its parameters are "reduced" to give an answer, which mathematically is equivalent to the question.

Restate my assumptions: One, Mathematics is the language of nature. Two, Everything around us can be represented and understood through numbers. Three: If you graph the numbers of any system, patterns emerge. Therefore, there are patterns everywhere in nature. Evidence: The cycling of disease epidemics;the wax and wane of caribou populations; sun spot cycles; the rise and fall of the Nile. So, what about the stock market? The universe of numbers that represents the global economy. Millions of 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 as well... Right in front of me... hiding behind the numbers. Always has been.

Excuse me, I couldn't help but notice you're trying to ploy this individual with amiable semantics deduced from simian notions of contradicting allegories.
