House of Paine

if each firm were just a pc running an m5 .....

thats what eve sez 
is all there is to her 
multi node 
 model behind Plans-Marts

  "pink 
not a very hard insight really ...
here it was
 arriving unannounced
at the butt end 
of a drive to old orchard maine  
with my latest  cannibal king 

'fuck 
 the analogue device
to sim  
  a digital system
is fucking  digital "

after that came 
just alot of 
off the shelf
  cluttery 
clattery
  and bang
lets watch
the fucker  permute
 the  details ................


=========================




the lady speaks.....

 " so synthetic in fact 
so piss poor analytically 
i can't get it published
 in karl shells journal 
where it belongs ...
it became 
sensible work
 only  if done by  
simmed  parallel pc's 
on a big barrel digiton ..."



(like the one she gets
        to ride bare back
for hour after hour 
over at
   the briggs center
in brighton  ) 

-----------------------------

she continues:


 "for years my biggest problem
  was finding that bigger fool 

seemed till 2001 
my project kept 
falling between stools

shit 
 there were as many vicious  bounce offs
as you'd hope for 
in a good run on a  pin ball machine  

 i'd say
  maybe three types  
         stood out

we  were  
 not "interesting enough"

not "practical enough"

or not "cheap enough"


   for
the  high powered abastractors
      inside most academic outfits 

"eve this tells me nothing "

which is true
 if you want to  find a brand new way
  to clock the dance of  angels 

u know  stuff like  the young 
and lovely karl shell shits it  ..."


(Shell is co-inventor with David Cass
 of the sunspot equilibrium concept.
  Sunspots provide 
a rational-expectations explanation 
for "excess market volatility"
 -- the excess of the randomness 
in outcomes over the randomness 
in the fundamentals. 
In nonconvex economies,
 sunspots can improve 
the allocation of resources ).



 to the non profits 
we we're too cloud covered 

' well dear 
u know  better then most 
we want
to produce policy around here ..."

which was true seein 
as the previous year
the fucks  hired me 
to write a program
 to detect  hidden trade quotas 


but 
 my plans-marts  crap ....
  output  ready to apply   ????

what a fuckin  joke

apply 
 my  bizzaro world's  results 
to the real one ?????

hell you couldn't 
even shit my results 
out  the back door 
without causing a blood bath   



then the for profits 
had their " problems " too

 ie
  our feasible 
contribution to a positive cash value


being  beyond the politiely " problematic" 

we were always 
way way
  too expensive

"even for free "

 for  any of those  taudry 
commercial forecasting shams
to sponsor us 

not even 
  as a  "mystifying  hood ornament "

though  using that line
i came close.....once  

and that was with 
the legendary  moe fuzz
    proprietor
of the fuzzbee
          commodity  forecast             
              
" we know  tomorrow's prices
                          yesterday ...."
 
 moe 
who prolly
makes his shit up
while jerkin off
in the bath tub 
 said he was "on board "with  our "gig" 
  "way way on board babe ...."

   maybe it was my blouse 

maybe the cut of my skirt 

"  i'll say this for it 
 eve
its  clear where its at
where its goin and when it'll arrive 

 its its ...

shit its 
like a scale model train set
its got high clarity
its  transparently graspable 

you know 
like that model of
 pearl harbor the japs built 

yup its  definitely got 
 sizzle  eve ....
lots and lots of  sizzle ...
           enough sizzle 
               to snizzle
          my  clients 
        ko-dizzle "

but 

"  300k  spay roll per annum

and  leasing a 1000 hours on a super ...."

 " thats steep 
 how about we talk this over dinner " 

steep ndeed
since his back office consisted 
of some metal files 
 a broom or two 
and  
a  dead  computer terminal  
home to  a family of horse flies 
and a mouse  
 with a green eye shade 


------------------

so after what 6 years 
of working 
       what seemed a very  bad hustle 

thank god for

the  old  brahmin boys
at  the briggs foundation 

too stupid 
 too other worldly
  and  way too rich 
to say no to me and what i got for em 

but thats another story 

------------------------
 pink here are a few teaser notes 
on the origins :

make it 
circa 1994 


 imagine  you just
got this flash
of a system of interacting pc's
as really 
all there is to  the actual 
value numbers
  interior of any   private capitalistic market system 
the book keeping programs
the production programs inventory sales 
purchase 
orders  tracking accounts r and accounts p 
personnel records time card records 
etc etc 
thats the firm in digital
but its also the firm in essence

what else is it ??

and its all  sim able
inside  a digital machine 
once you 
add a series of maxim stuffed 
 m5 programs to make the buy sell build hire fire 
store send etc decisions 
just 
 lash these routines on to 
the bizzaro company records 

then ring the bell and start 
the  interfirm transactions  
and productions

maybe you keep track
of a  pile of 
job nailed hoots
called laboring households
   as  flexible input values 
 
and  fire the rim 
with  any fashion of final  consumer spending patterns 

to be continued 

  budgets and preferences ?????

you choose 

 you're cookin lunch 
on clean gas here  buddy ....
