“You can never solve a problem on the level on which it was created.”

Albert Einstein

“Is that all there is?”

No, Virginia, there may not be a Santa Claus, but there is much more to Hypernomics than has already met the eye. Given the mathematically unlimited scenarios we discovered using Hypernomics, we should leave well enough alone. We have plenty to digest, and are stuffed with knowledge. Should we all stop before we run out of the collective antacid?

Not at all.

Things are not quite as simple as this book might have made them out to be.

Why is that?

Once again, this gets back to something that you already know. It happens that many markets are related to one another. For example, jet aircraft need jet engines to fly. The engines' prices amount to about 20% to 40% of the aircraft's total cost, depending on the makes and models of each. As noted earlier, we need to build a seven‐dimensional environment when considering two markets simultaneously as shown in Figure 11.1. If we add time, we have to have eight dimensions. Work has already been done on this problem.¹

As Figure 11.1 demonstrates, ignoring those markets that supply you or you supply could lead to unexpected consequences. The world is full of markets that work hand in hand with others.

There are markets for electric cars, which use motors, tires, and batteries; smartphone markets rely on smartphone cases, wireless carriers, and mobile applications; the market for hens includes eggs, ...
