  How “profit” slips, why prices deceive without lying, and what traders actually encounter when they sell 1. A Strange Feeling Every Investor Has Felt Imagine this situation. You invest LKR 2,500,000 in the stock market. A month or weeks later, your trading screen shows: Portfolio value: LKR 2,677,000 Profit: +LKR 177,000 You feel good. You are good. You believe you have made money. Then you sell. After settlement, your account shows: Cash received: LKR 2,596,850 Actual profit: +LKR 96,850 More than LKR 80,000 has vanished . Nothing illegal happened. The broker didn’t cheat. The market didn’t crash. So what happened? This moment — the gap between what appeared to be profit and what actually became money — is not a technical glitch. It is structural . And this is where the stock market starts to resemble Lacanian theory of meaning in a surprisingly precise way. 2. A Simple Introduction to Lacan Let’s begin with the key ideas, defined exac...

Across philosophy, physics, and the human sciences, ideas often appear to belong to separate worlds. Psychoanalysis speaks the language of desire and lack; quantum physics deals with particles, fields, and equations; artificial intelligence concerns optimization, probability, and learning. Yet beneath these differences, certain structures repeat. Surely, this doesnt fall on the category of Sokalian.   A homology is not a metaphor and not a loose analogy or a statistical relationship. It is a shared formal logic appearing in different domains, even when the surface vocabulary changes. Homologies do not claim that one domain causes the other, nor that they are secretly “the same thing.” Or correlated. They claim something more modest—and more radical: that different systems are constrained by the same structural limits. My broader project identifies eight such homologies linking Lacanian psychoanalysis, quantum physics, and their potential impact into artificial intelligence. Thi...
