One, Mathematics is the language of nature. Two, Everything around us can be represented and understood through numbers. Three: If you graph the numbers of any system, patterns emerge. Therefore, there are patterns everywhere in nature.
Edit: it's a quote from this excellent movie, pi: https://youtu.be/yRjkQT9xLZs
So, what about the stock market? The universe of numbers that represents the global economy. Millions of hands at work, billions of minds.
Great movie.
Economics is not math, its a religion.
The guy I'm replying to and i are quoting a movie about a troubled mathematician searching for a pattern in the stock market.
That aside, I disagree with your assertion that economics is a religion. I agree it's not math though. It uses math to form models for predictive/descriptive purposes, as do a lot of disciplines.
