  Time marches on ; CoSy gets ever more powerful .

  I often feel dragged by what I see is possible -- or necessary ,
  when a more conventional path would be much more comfortable .

  But , I guess that comes with the territory and I'm addicted to
  the view . ( See  CoSy/Life  )

  Here are links to the branches of my recent activities :
/ ------- / 

• TradeSpeed "Speed of Thought" Quantitative Analytical Applications
  and Trading Systems Development .
  Working with Scott Gordon and Jeanne McConnell of JTM Associates , we developed and demonstrated an environment integrating the "NoteComputing" environment of K.CoSy with Kx's Kdb and "Tick and Quote" systems .
  In Scott's words , this marriage creates "the highest performing, most technologically advanced, most intuitive strategic investment management analytical applications and trading system."
  Here's a screen showing the nature of the environment ... ( more )

• I have also found it very useful and interesting to attend the weekly Mathematical Finance Seminars organized by Marco Avellaneda and his colleagues at NYU Courant Institute . ( more )

• The great Wall Street Small Cap conference host , whose frendship I will always appreciate , John Westergaard , passed away this winter . See CoSy/Home#WallSt for more .

NECESSARY :
• Taxes
  The first half of April was spent immersed in annual slave work for the IRS .
  The integration of Ksql with K.CoSy motivated and facilitated thru the creation of the TradeSpeed demo was of substantial utility in simplifying a number of aggregations for various line items . ( more )

• Liberty
  I have been told many times that business and politics should never be mixed .
  But that's not reality . CoSy is about the Business of Life , and Politics is the business of the legitimized application of force in our lives . The Coalescing Global Nanny Police State is by far the most dangerous and generally parasitic force in our lives . See CoSy/Liberty for commentary and actions concerning :
  • The extension of US War on (some) Drugs to the herb that made America .
  • US entanglement in Religious War ; The first clause of the US First Amendment , Truth , Global Democracy and Law be damned .
  • On April 16th I did an hour with James Yan on his Manhattan Neighborhood Network call-in cable TV show Earthling Network discussing , generally , the role of the UN . ..( more )

  Note that I am available to speak on "The Logic of Liberty" to your organization .

POSSIBLE :
• The Conic All Connect

  Vision for the World Trade Center site

  24 years ago ... , I solved the minimal paths around N-cubes . The 6-cube has since been my logo .
  The computation of the the "parts list" for the Conic All Connect , a vision I had last August for the World Trade Center site ... serves the same purpose of demonstrating the nature of problems which can be mastered in K.CoSy .

  Not having a $40,000 grant like the 9 designs which had already been selected by July , this project was pretty much relegated to weekends + . ...
  The end result is about dozen lines of K to compute all the intersections and project them conically into a third dimension . ( more )

  Let me know how these very powerful technologies and skills may be of value to you .
