FRACTAL ECONOMICS

 Curse of dyslexia; re-edit of my papers Can I share with you my personal story, one that culminated with the re-edit of my very special papers on the fractal, quantum, and cosmology?  These days, as I am writing my book, I am making use of a kind of artificial intelligence, in the form of an assistant editor, Grammarly. It's just a breakthrough for me; all my life, I've been cursed with dyslexia. I only learnt that word when I became a teacher. Yes, I'm a teacher, and I know how to read and write, but I have serious issues with it and have had problems in the past. With Grammarly, I have been editing my old work and even this blog. And it's been a great feeling doing this. However, last week I did something that threw me into a pit of humiliation: I looked over the papers I submitted to the International Journal of Quantum Foundations and found them riddled with grammatical errors. What to do? To cut a long story short, I wrote to the editor and said to him that they a...

  My morning experiment. This is what I do these days, teach (sometimes before class I play these 'toys' with my students), research and write ... and exercise in between. Germanium is interesting to me as it shares, as a solid, a property most of the air does; it is said to be transparent to thermal (infrared) radiation. Just as an afterthought, the tape can leak infrared radiation, so it is not a perfect (blackbody) absorber of infrared radiation, but is very close. I am interested in the detector. I think it is the most important detector humans have ever developed (outside the compass). In fact, it helped us understand magnetism and its connection to light. It is the thermopile and its kin, in this demonstration, the bolometer (the thermal camera). But is it old, 19th-century, as is, as a result of the detector, our common knowledge of heat radiation. This instrument is central to greenhouse theory (it defines the greenhouse gases) and quantum mechanics. It is the detector...

 It's Sunday morning, a time I like to share with you, but I've been thinking about recently. Well, if I were to do that and its totality, it'll be way too much. I have my book I'm working on—the cosmology problem—and the topic of this post: price elasticity of supply and the fracture. One of my early insights into the fractal was elasticity. I teach economics and have just gone through the section on elasticity, which I find absolutely fascinating and an absolute insight into reality. It is a place where economics becomes physics, and it is a property of everything, revealed in economics: elasticity, namely, the price elasticity of demand (PED) and the price elasticity of supply (PES). My 2011 blog entry on this topic. For years, I have been trying to make this work, make this correspond. If the economy is a fractal, then elasticity should be explained by the fractal. I find myself at the risk of trying to make this fit; confirmation bias. But for some reason, this yea...

Cosmic Increasing Acceleration of Cosmological Constant or Dark Energy with Time Explained by the Fractal Update 2025 10 06 I spent the last two days reviewing the commentary on the changing cosmological constant and examining the papers. As a consequence, I would like to retract my previous update, as it is incorrect. My original post remains correct, to the best of my knowledge. The more I examine it, the more it aligns precisely with my model's predictions. What am I to do? Maybe I need to write another short paper bringing these two 'things' together.  View from 10:00 minutes. View from 21:00 minutes Update 2025 09 29 I would like to update what I have written below, as I may have it incorrect. It looks like it's the opposite, actually. Sadly for me, the rate of change is greater now than it was in the past, and that is what it's been saying along, and I misinterpreted that. The one thing I can take from this is a look at my own character. When I saw it, I had m...

 Hello readers,  I am writing this just to check if anybody can communicate with me through this blog. If you could kindly send me a thumbs up or whatever you like, it would be much appreciated. Maybe you can email me also at fractalnomics@gmail.com Thank you, Regards, Blair Macdonald.

  Tegmark FQXi BBC Quantum Fractal  I still haven't heard anyone ask any questions about my paper that I published in the International Journal of Quantum Foundations. I still think it's remarkable that someone like me got accepted to publish, not peer reviewed, not one paper, but two.  Two complementary papers, the first  on the quantum  and the fractal, and a second  on the fractal, the large-scale structure of the universe , and I'm not even a physicist.  And I haven't heard a word.  I wrote a comment on a YouTube clip recently that 'I feel unmeasured'. I understand that I could be seen as a crank, but the journal editor didn't think so. There's no way he would've let it go in if he thought that. He wrote to me that he thought my work was 'interesting'. Maybe they just needed my money. Joking. I'd like to share with you a little backstory of how I applied for a grant from the FQXI foundation on the topic of the observer. It was back in...
