From Cambridge to Eternity: “Stills of the Movie Film”

 

The nature comprises of five dimensions: three dimensions in space (L³, L for length), one in time (T¹ for the period of time) and one in mass (M¹ for mass of all differences). Blessedly we can observe through the visionary system what is happening in front of us across space (L^-3) and over time (T^-1). (Negativity for the purpose of accounting only)

               Physicists would say that we with the system capture the “real images” of the actual things. When we wear lenses, on the contrary, we capture the “virtual images,” which can possibly be dubbed “nominal” if in macroeconomics. Real, virtual or nominal, we recognize the nature in five dimensions. C'est la vie réelle!      

In the Puppet Show. We see the imitations of the real things moving across the space and over the time. The mass is imaginary but the space of moving and the time of lapsing are real.

Those in the Cave. For the sake of convenience, we copy from Wikipedia: “In the allegory, Plato describes people who have spent their lives chained in a cave facing a blank wall. They watch shadows projected onto the wall by objects passing in front of a fire behind them, and they give names to these shadows. The shadows are the prisoners' reality but not accurate representations of the real world.”

             What they see is the real shadow (L²) of puppets moving per real time (T^-1) and per real space (L^-3). Still, those misnomers, lots of them!

Cinema Movies. On the screen we see the virtual shadows (L²), emitted through the lenses, of the printed images (T⁰∙L²) of the imitators and the imitations. “Pictures” are moving (L^-1) by the projector but the time therein "flies" (T⁰) precisely like in a fairy tale.    

Stills of the Film. Individual scenes off the projector do not even move (L⁰). The first scene is followed by another by another by another by another and so on, all in an unbreakable “chain.” All scenes are different expect for being still (T⁰).

Scenarios. “Scenario A” makes “Movie a,” B makes b, C makes c and so on so forth. ¿Y qué?

A  Trivial Question. “Where is the beef”? Well, the value (U for utility value) is everywhere except for in “real variables” as in Cambridge macroeconomics.

Note: “Real variables” are stillborn. For instance, the “real’ GDP (Y) as the nominal GDP (Y_N) divided by the price level (P) is nothing other than an index: if we put the price level (P) to 100, the nominal GDP becomes the “real” GDP. Like any  other  index, GDP  comes with no dimension.

             As per the General Equilibrium Model, the US GDP in 2036 will be 1.8x10¹⁰⁰, perfectly naked. Are you kidding, or are we in Eternity?
