50k ft — Why care?

3D lattice visualization of the Ising model applied to financial markets. Blue=sellers, orange=buyers. At high volatility the market is random; as social pressure increases, clusters form leading to spontaneous symmetry breaking (crashes/trends). Built in Python for agent-based modeling.

Modeling herd behavior with the Ising Model. 📊 Visualizing market phase transitions using a 3D lattice. 🟦 Blue = Sellers 🟧 Orange = Buyers Comment "Ising" for free code repo! 🚨🐍 ​At high "temperatures" (high volatility/noise), the market is random. But as social pressure increases, clusters form. Eventually, the system undergoes a spontaneous symmetry breaking—representing a massive trend or crash. ​Built this using Python to visualize agent-based modeling concepts.
