if you start your wonderland closed multi-market system in equilibrium
are you using inadvertantly the best of all possible magic tricks
ie
a move that precedes the trick's actual performance
take this formulation:
" Any change in status quo prompts an opposing reaction in the responding system"
the system works to restore itself eh ???
okay
now you make this good
by assuming the state that is the status quo is a state of equilibrium
and equilibrium is the best of all possible states
what the fuck if the initial set of conditions ISN'T an equilibrium ???
what if equilibrium doesn't rank particularly high on the list of pareto prefered states ??
