Thanks, Michael. I like your stuff too.
I gather Sam is stepping down. Have heard various
rumors as to who is replacing him, but no definite word.
SFI is an ongoing upheaval. Doyne Farmer of there and
QF, was once a part of Ralph Abraham's "Santa Cruz
Chaos Collective," described in the popular Gleick book.
Personally I enjoy being a part of the "International
Chaos Mafia," an interesting (but unofficial) collection
of people, :-).
BTW, although I would say that catastrophe theory is
more disruptive of conventional economic theory than is
chaos theory, the latter does completely blow rational
expectations out the window due to the butterfly effect,
a point that I have pounded away on in many places and
venues for a long time.
