Principles
A record and an instrument. These are the rules it keeps.
Markets are loud. Cycles are quiet and old. CardCycles watches the quiet part, and writes it down every week.
- 01
Every card has a cycle.
Interest rises and fades. Supply follows. The pattern is older than any card.
- 02
Read the long series before the latest point.
One number is a moment. The series is the story.
- 03
Seal the observation before the outcome is known.
We write it down first, so the record can never be fitted to what happened.
- 04
State the limits of every measure.
Each series says plainly what it cannot tell you.
- 05
Append. Never revise.
Corrections are new entries. The past stays exactly as it was written.
