		stanfordkid on Oct 22, 2013 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Dawn of Autonomous Corporations, Powered by Bitcoi... do you really take that paper seriously? In human systems epsilon of the best approximation is pretty relevant. If N (time scale) is millions of years and epsilon is tenths of cents for the reduction to work then it is functionally irrelevant.

The paper is essentially to show that there is a disconnect between mathematical rigor and economics :)

In this, it does very well.
