A Fundação e a econometria.

¨The Multidimensional surfaces representing economic variables were like twisted bottles filled with - as Yugo time-stepped them - sloshing fluids. The liquids of yellow and amber and virulent red flowed around and trough each other in a supple, slow dance. Hari was perpetually amazed at how beauty arose in the most unlikely ways from mathematics. Yugo had plotted abstruse econometric quantities, yet in the gravid sway of centuries they made delicate arabesques."

Foundation's Fear, Gregory Benford.

Um sinal de que a minha visão inspiradora e a econometria estão ligadas.

E por acaso jogando Oolite hoje uma das missões tinha uma referência explícita a Fundação.
