I’ll tell you, Bugs, I was looking at a computer model of how sympathetic vibrations in certain structures cause them to resonate during earthquakes and amplify the destructive force of the shaking — and I kept thinking of your post on market psychology.
We know that at some point things will get ugly in RE, that the ugliness will make it’s way into the echo chamber of the media, that people will react to the reporting, the reporting will intensify, a vicious circle of reaction and amplification will occur that carries things far beyond the original event.
Wouldn’t you kill to see a model that managed to quantify that unraveling and graph it in some visually comprehensable way?
I think it might look something like that earthquake model I saw today.
