Finamatrix: Risk Cybernetics - ISO 31000:2009 Compliant
Cybernetics, coined by Dr. Norbert Wiener, is the study of communication, feedback and control mechanisms in humans and machines.
Risk Cybernetics: is the practice of risk management with cybernetic technologies, specifically in the application of optimization with circular causal communication and feedback control features. Risk cybernetics is a technique that can be applied to any form of market data in the development of risk-pricing models at high-frequency and low-latency for the implementation in trading strategies or programs.

Thesis: "RISK CYBERNETICS: Volatility Feedback Control for Automated Technical Trading with GANN Optimization - Application on EURUSD and USDJPY"
- Innovation equation, I = f { [T(K,C)]^N }
I is a function of Knowledge (K) and Creativity (C). Creativity is simply the methods and frameworks that we use to create new ideas and knowledge; K is the things that we already know and can learn. T is desire or resistance to innovate coefficient, representing personal inclination or family support. N is maturity level of frameworks to exploit innovation, represented by government or societal support in terms of infrastructure, policy, etc. I is a propensity to innovate while luck transforms I into reality.
