Primes

• Herding Behavior
  • The asymmetry is crucial: upward cascades compress information gradually; downward cascades accelerate because losses loom larger than gains in the psychological weight actors place on them.
• Reference Cadence Exceeds Tracking Bandwidth
  • In markets, order flow churning on a millisecond cadence against second-scale price discovery produces microstructure noise and flash crashes.

    This sourceDocuments how high-frequency order flow churning faster than slower liquidity/price discovery produced the May 2010 flash crash, the market-microstructure instance of fast reference cadence against a slower loop.
