Risk, Arbitrage & Tail Events

Primes about uncertainty and asymmetric payoffs: risk and risk pooling, systemic risk and antifragility, expected utility, arbitrage (finance and generalized) and the efficient-market hypothesis, heavy-tailed distributions and intermittency, speculative bubbles and the winner's curse, approach-avoidance conflict.

14 primes in this family — primes that sit near one another in abstraction space (k-means over structural-signature embeddings). Each is shown with its structural–framed character and how distinctive (sparsely-neighbored) it is.
