Orders of Causation & the Structure of Spacetime An Enquiry Into the Mathematical Principles That Govern the Form & Structure of All Things

God shapes the universe with the aid of a compass. Within the perfect circle already created are the spherical sun and moon and the unformed matter that will become the earth once God applies the same geometric principles to it. From a Bible moralisée ca. 1220–1230.

While many people immediately jump to the conclusion that the correlation between astronomical and social cycles must imply some kind of belief in planetary influence or financial astrology, this is not necessarily the case. In fact, we consider the subject of financial astrology to be a secondary phenomenon compared to the cosmological order we are looking at.

We know advanced Baumring students who are able to forecast sequences of exact price/time turning points with amazing accuracy without the slightest consideration of any form of planetary or astronomical phenomena. We also know many professional financial astrologers who are able to make superb forecasts as well. The point being that the planets are not necessarily required as causative influences to determine financial market action.

 On the Nature of First Order Causation

Johann Elert Bode (1747–1826), German Astronomer

This being the case, why then is it that we do seem to discover this correlation between planetary and other astronomical cycles and social, political and economic cycles in the world? This leads us to a consideration of what Dr. Baumring would call orders of causation. Baumring used to regularly ask his students: what IS true first order causation?

Someone who is looking at planetary influence is not looking at first order causation, and perhaps not even second order causation. We are looking for something much more fundamental that some cause and effect relationship between different universal elements.

First order causation would imply an ordering process which is not only responsible for the cycles discovered in society or markets, but is also responsible for the order that the positions of the planets find themselves in, which is responsible for their specific cycles.

Why is it that the planets have the periods or placements around the sun that they actually have?

Theories of Planetary Order

There are certain theories of planetary order within the Solar System like the 18th century Titus-Bode Law of Planetary Distances, that gives particular number sequences which quite accurately define the placement of the planets.

Other theories describe the planetary distances as fitting quite well within the Fibonacci sequence. This idea would be even less surprising when we learn that just about everything within the organic and inorganic worlds is governed in its structure, growth and proportionality by specific number sequences and important ratios. The Golden Ratio or Divine Proportion of .618 is the most common generator of order within the organic world.

So, the idea of first order causation would be that within the inherent structure of spacetime itself, there are mathematical ordering principles that govern the fundamental nature and layout of everything which inhabits that space, whether it be the spiral arms of our Milky Way Galaxy, the relationship of planets to our Sun, the proportions of every joint and limb on the human body, the layout of every leaf, branch, and petal on every flower and tree, or the growth of horns, shells, and crystals. All throughout nature we find this perfect order as defined by mathematical ratios and sequences, leading us to consider whether the actual structure of spacetime itself may not also possess some similar fundamental ordering principle.

CosmoEconomics & The Law of Vibration

A diagram from Athanasius Kircher’s “The Musurgia Universalis” (1650) in which the author states his belief that the harmonic structures within music reflected the proportions of the universe.

CosmoEconomics and the Law of Vibration consider these to be fundamental areas of investigation within our scientific perspective, and find fascinating insights into the nature of cycles of time, the structure of space, and the formations of markets through such investigations. It is primarily through the study of nature and the universe that we derive an understanding of the nature of the financial markets. So a vast degree of our research explores the systems of natural order, growth and form within the organic and inorganic worlds. For as the prime Alchemical axiom states, “As above, so below…”

It can be seen that this system of the Law of Vibration is not restricted merely to the limited fields of economics and finance, but is better defined as the essence of Cosmology itself, the system of mathematical order which permeates the fabric of the entire universe. Seen from the CosmoEconomical perspective, financial markets are governed by natural and mathematical laws of the universe, and with a deeper understanding of the synergistic relationship between universal elements including mass social or psychological patterns, a deeper and more integrated scientific tradition will be born, producing technologies far in advance of those known today.

We consider Cosmological Economics to be a scientific study at the cutting edge of such fields as physics, philosophy, cosmology and Unified Field Theory, bringing together the mechanistic elements of modern physics with the biological, psychological and consciousness principles normally excluded in the physics and cosmology of the modern scientific establishment. This unification establishes a system of order and interconnectedness between all universal phenomena, something common in ancient scientific and philosophical traditions, but lost in the academic materialism of today. It brings principles of order and causation into a system considered by the mainstream to be totally random or chaotic.

The activities of the Institute of Cosmological Economics are focused upon supporting and inspiring research that provides evidence that these theories have a high probability of being true. This is done through the development of models and technology based upon these principles which establish order where others see only randomness.

If one can produce a scientific or mathematical explanation that defines the ordering process behind a complex system like the markets that was previously considered random, such as Chaos Theory and non-linear dynamics have done within natural science, then these theories can be demonstrated, if not at least to be true, then at worst to be highly useful.
