Our notions of scale have been tested again and again, ... We must have transaction by transaction redundancy and reliability - and all this must happen automatically. These are big network challenges.

Even with the outages that we suffered, our availability is still 99.1%, and the call centers were open to take trades during the outages,

The good news is we had no network-related outages - and have had none in recent memory,

I've had better months in my 21-year technology career,

The principle of conservation of boson number inside a system is seen to follow directly from the Abstraction Model. The IBMs are seen to obey the Laws of Physical Transaction that follows from Zero-Postulation. The chaotic superfields at the requisite scaling-ratio yields necessary equation-parameters needed to describe them at that given scaling-ratio. This is seen to be independent of the choice of scale, but at smaller scaling-ratios, we have less loss of information. At a higher scale, we seem to have less number of parameters required to describe them.

From the dawn of civilization, human beings have tried to find out order in the chaotic world surrounding them. It has however never been easy to find a solution to explain a given system while being a part of that system. The best bet is to find out the most fundamental components within the system and building a theory round these. In other words, a theory that is able to describe the world in totality has to keep the number of basic postulates it depends upon to zero or near zero.
