Thanks for your input, its been stunning in many regards.

Wouldn't it be correct to characterize data being generated routinely in trading as occurring in a world where Relative constants exist, not as absolute physical constants, but as functions of allowed transactions occurring because costs of undertaking these actions are too low?

Below are some trade data posited against the legal authorized and outstanding of this particular companies current stats. Remember in 1987 crash the dow traded a total of around 550 million total shares, in the example next these data were generated against this penny stock.
Shares Outstanding 5109.99M
Float29.67M
% Held by Insiders 14.92%
% Held by Institutions 110.67%
Shares Short (Mar 13, 2020) 44.68M


From the post too which this is a reply you said:

"I think most of that... is wrong. I think the error comes from misunderstanding value functions... from believing that "value" inherently follows laws that are immutable... but that are true only because we want them to be true... as if money, currency, work, productivity, and various market functions... are all fixed value functions like the laws of physics... that are seen as inviolable... (until we find exceptions in work arounds requiring new theories.) Perhaps some are actually more like the physical constants... where numbers are selected to balance out equations... but we don't know why they are what they are... or what functions they represent. It is always an error to mistake a casual familiarity with "constants" giving a comfort level... as an adequate substitute for actual knowledge."
