With all of the talk recently of recursively-settled agoric market spaces, multidimensional geodesic actor systems, and other jargon-heavy marketbuzz, I've made up a little table of recommended names.
Someone could make a little Perl or Python script to let the computers do all the work.
The idea is to take a couple of sexy terms from Columns 1 and 2 and apply them to a noun from Column 3. Care should be taken to use terms which evoke images from relativity, quantum mechanics, artificial life, and other trendy areas. Anything that triggers images from "Star Trek" is good.
Here it goes:
Column 1 Column 2 Column 3
Distributed Fractal Market
Geodesic Coaseian Ecosystem
Holographic Geodesic Space
Multiply-connected Biometric Ecology
Least Action Parameterized Continuum
Recursively-settled Holographic Cyberspace
Fractal Multidimensional Bazaar
Bionomic Distributed Hyperspace
Agoric Auction Topology
Best of breed Metric Metaverse
Dark Fiber Anarchic Arena
Open-system Quantized Manifold
Anarcho-topological Hayekian Actor system
Examples of usage:
"Digital Datawhack is premised on the principle of creating distributed biometric agoric arenas."
"The Von Mises Corporation is the dominant player in deploying recursively-settled holographic actor systems. It is our goal to make agoric, open-system market topologies the bionomic norm."
"Fractalbucks are the unit of currency in the Hayekworld bazaar-type open Coaseian system. We believe it to be best of breed in the dark fiber geodesic market space."
Glad to be of help.
