“… Beauty is truth, truth beauty. That is all ye know on earth, and all ye need to know.”
-Keats
The Sun is the Apex Generator of Information
From the monatomic, fusing lighter into heavier elements, the Sun paves the way for planets, carbon’s crystalline bonds, DNA and the genetic code, etc. Every step of the way, Sunlight is released, informational energy flung into the cosmos, and greater structures of information are organized.
Photons emancipated from gravitational compression emerge in a perfectly symmetrical order: the greater mass which remains adds gravitational integrity to the fabric of space. These forces move in elegant symmetry.
Sunlight is the most precise manifestation of pure information. It has greater symmetry than matter. The forces of nature are busy converting matter into light. The law of conservation of energy forces mass in effect to work to accomplish the return of the energy bound within it to its former state of greater symmetry.
But, our star is also the deepest source of gravity, that dark, unseen force which binds us to time. The primordial role of gravity is to supply a negative force at the creation event, such that all things may be born from a condition of zero energy. The debits of matter are the symmetrical credits of Sunlight. And Sunlight celebrates the completion of a symmetrical cycle of creation and conservation.
Sunlight is the source of disembodied intelligence. It is the most basic representation of the logos in the cosmos, the organizing principle that propagates through all reality. It is the force which uncovers that which is occluded/concealed by inertia, hierarchy and status quo. It transcends forces of entropy, violence and collectivism.
The human mind has discovered this cosmic symmetrical order both intuitively and rationally, where it finds expression in patterns of mythological, religious, philosophical, and scientific “world systems.” The Sun is the primordial representation of the forces which anchor us and the forces which cause heroic creativity to emanate from our nature.
The Sun is the Manifestation of Opposites
Osiris and Horus, Atlas and Prometheus, the hemispheres of the brain, the “Love and Strife” of Empedocles. There is a great fractal algorhythm in which intelligence, economic might, heroic creativity and compounded human flourishing all unfold within the same symmetrical rules.
It is almost always true that the intuitive understanding comes first, often by thousands of years. The work of human enterprise often is based on the achievement of an intuitive understanding of natural law which is in accordance with a formal theory yet to be realized. The same truth can be appropriately apprehended by both the intuitive and the rational powers of the human mind.
In the same way as information emanates through radiant energy, all evolution and consciousness strives toward expanding its freedom. Consciousness seeks to free itself from mechanical restrictions which impede its symmetry as light seeks to free itself from matter.
The most essential, primordial human archetype is therefore the embodiment of creativity as the expression of greater meta-information and is likewise in this sense expressed in the service of freedom.
Human endeavor must be polysemic, it must have symmetry across every layer of analysis. Like the conversion of human potential into actuality, the process of releasing truth bound in the static, less balanced and occluded is analogous.
The Market is the Human Process of Solar Fusion
The depth of Solar gravity fuses matter and releases pure information and energy, just as the gravitation of inferior truths releases purer truths as they implode. This catalytic experience in the market is expressed as convexity. The very nature of information release on the atomic level and on the level of economic truth have the same non-linear, expansive, freedom-seeking property. Nothing of informational or economic integrity can come into existence without first being released from the tectonic resistance of gravity.
Release of Symmetrical Truth is the Only Source of Alpha
Trades in-line with gravitational compression, with the prevailing market inertia and mass of a given situation (beta and rent trades), can often be trades in-line with economic entropy. Solar Macro seeks to identify the main sources of tectonic resistance in the market as potential sources for the non-linear expansion of truth and purer, dis-covered information. Identifying these tectonics involves a macro awareness of falsehoods in market, economic and financial structure, and how these falsehoods interlink or are contingent on one another. By identifying pockets of market “fusion,” through analysis of macro political dynamics and technical market structure, we aim to maximize the generation of anti-correlation, differentiation and exposure to the non-linear release of market information.
