TIME TRIADS
Benoit Mandelbrot, the father of fractal geometry saw fractals everywhere. He might just have missed seeing them on TIME.
FLUCTUATIONS AND TIME ACCORDING TO MANDELBROT
A fluctuation is a pulse, a change, amplitude. In a heartbeat a fluctuation signifies life. Researchers have spent decades researching fluctuations in an attempt to understand markets. Few like Mandelbrot have even gone ahead and defined nature by proving that the fluctuations are mathematical, fractalled. The father of fractal geometry illustrated the vastness of the idea, but he failed to extend the idea to time.
According to him though TIME does not run in a straight line, it changes according to price and stretches and shrinks like a balloon rubber. It speeds up and slows down. The 1993 Wolf Prize winner (most prestigious award after the Nobel Prize) focused all his mathematics on price and not on TIME. The seriousness of his work suggests that either TIME was not important enough to be featured in his lifelong work or he did not consider TIME to have a mathematical fluctuation or in words an organic life.
