I am the Walras's law and the Carpenter's Walrasian auction

Rhetorical analysis and learning how to discern deeper meaning in symbolic logic takes scholastic pursuits. After understanding the symbolism of Lewis Carrol referring to echelons of social strata, expressed as animals by the sea, a new look or listen may be deployed with the Beatles song

A Walrasian auction, introduced by Léon Walras, is a type of simultaneous auction where each agent calculates its demand for the good at every possible price and submits this to an auctioneer. The price is then set so that the total demand across all agents equals the total amount of the good. Thus, a Walrasian auction perfectly matches the supply and the demand.

The Walrasian auctioneer is the presumed auctioneer that matches supply and demand in a market of perfect competition. The auctioneer provides for the features of perfect competition: perfect information and no transaction costs. The process is called tâtonnement, or groping, relating to finding the market clearing price for all commodities and giving rise to general equilibrium.

Children stories often carry a moral message. This is not a new thing, and has been the case from millenia past, and across many cultures across the globe.

Sometimes, the moral story is not direct, and indeed can be very deep,and sometimes it is enveloped in satire or even cynicist philosophy.

One such deeply symbolic and satirical story is Lewis Carroll's poem of The Walrus and the Carpenter. In his famous book Alice in Wonderland, Tweedle Dum and Tweedle Dee tell this story to Alice.

How often do we see Walruses with tears in their eyes?

Whether they are persons, or companies, or nations!

Those who pretend that they are doing what is best, but in reality doing exactly the opposite, but trying to present evil as good?

For example, is the US invasion and occupation of Iraq really for democracy and freedom?

What about that genocide in Sudan for oil that operation mockingbird will not tweet about?

There's a Carpenter's song for Americana cultural conventional wisdom here somewhere and in the mean time let's consider founding father Franklin and his conventions. Here are the virtues that Franklin tracked and reflected upon each day. His goal was to improve himself with regard to each virtue so that over time he was a better person in that regard, and by being a better overall person, he was more open to life's opportunities.

Temperance

  1. Eat not to dullness; drink not to elevation.

  2. This one's pretty simple. Eat until you're not hungry any more rather than stuffing yourself, don't eat just for entertainment's sake or for boredom's sake, and stop drinking when it begins to impair your judgment and sensibilities. It's about self-regulating what you put into your body and making the conscious choice to put in only enough for good living.

Silence

  1. Speak not but what may benefit others or yourself; avoid trifling conversation.

  2. If you don't have anything of value to add to a conversation, don't do so. Instead, just listen to what's being said — and actually listen. Try to seek out meaningful conversations and avoid meaningless chatter. This doesn't mean that you avoid getting to know other people and small talk, but that you recognize that there is a distinct purpose to such conversations and you keep a focus on that purpose. Idle chatter for no purpose is the problem, as is speaking just to fill space in the conversation.

Order

  1. Let all your things have their places; let each part of your business have its time.

  2. Keep your physical possessions organized so that you can always find what you need. Do the same with your time, so that you always have time for the things that are important to you; if that's a struggle, adopt some form of time management or a smarter approach to one's possessions. If you have too many things that it becomes very difficult to keep them all straight, then this is a call to start downsizing the less important things.

Resolution

  1. Resolve to perform what you ought; perform without fail what you resolve.

  2. If you decide to do something, carry through with it. Don't commit to things that you can't follow through on or aren't actually intending to follow through on. Say "no" if you're asked to do something that you can't actually follow through on. In fact, if you're unsure, say "no" just so you're not left with someone else holding the bag due to your failure of resolution. If you say "yes," follow through on that yes.

Frugality

  1. Make no expense but to do good to others or yourself; i.e., waste nothing.

  2. Don't be wasteful with your money. Whenever you spend a dollar or use something, have it be genuinely purposeful. You want to get maximum value for the dollars that you have when you choose to spend them. If you're not choosing to spend them, put them to work for you in some aspect of your life, either by paying down debt or building an emergency fund or saving for a big goal like retirement.

Industry

  1. Lose no time; be always employ'd in something useful; cut off all unnecessary actions.

  2. Don't spend your time idling. Try to spend your time doing something productive, and if you lack the energy or focus to do the task at hand, find something else that fits where you're at. If you don't have anything on hand to do, spend that time improving yourself. If you're too tired to do anything, sleep, and if that tiredness is consistent, engage in purposeful leisure or talk to a doctor.

Sincerity

  1. Use no hurtful deceit; think innocently and justly, and, if you speak, speak accordingly.

  2. Be honest in your words, but also kind in terms of the impact that they can have on others. Don't be hurtful with what you say, but strive to lift up the other person. Don't lie and don't mislead, but don't be cruel with your words, either. If you must criticize, find ways to criticize without being "brutally honest," which is insincere in its intention.

Justice

  1. Wrong none by doing injuries, or omitting the benefits that are your duty.

  2. Don't bring harm to others for your own benefit. Try to find ways so that everyone involved in your interactions finds some genuine benefit. Seek out solutions so that everyone wins. If you agreed to an arrangement, stick by that arrangement, or renegotiate it if it's now untenable.

Moderation

  1. Avoid extremes; forbear resenting injuries so much as you think they deserve.

  2. Choosing extreme positions or acting toward others in extreme ways often ends up with negative consequences for you without any real benefit. Avoid taking positions or behaving in ways that bring harm towards others unless you intentionally are bringing harm, in which case be careful in the amount of harm you bring.

Cleanliness

  1. Tolerate no uncleanliness in body, cloaths, or habitation.

  2. Practice hygiene. Keep your clothes clean. Keep your home clean. Keep your office clean. Keep your teeth clean. This is not only for your own health, but also for how you present yourself to the world.

Tranquillity

  1. Be not disturbed at trifles, or at accidents common or unavoidable.

  2. Don't be upset by the unexpected events that life throws at you. They're going to happen — being upset does not help resolve them. If you recognize your emotions swelling, consciously keep them in check. Learn how to recognize your own emotions inside and understand them without reacting to them or acting upon them. Use them as information instead in order to make better decisions.

Chastity

  1. Rarely use venery but for health or offspring, never to dullness, weakness, or the injury of your own or another's peace or reputation.

  2. Don't let physical passions become a distraction or a main focus in your life. Don't allow it to cause you to betray or harm others. Again, if you find yourself in a position where things are untenable, seek outside help and don't simply toss the virtue to the side.

Humility

  1. Imitate Jesus and Socrates.

  2. Undersell and overdeliver in everything that you do. Don't talk about how great you are; instead, be great and give abundant credit to others.

Franklin would improve his standards to a degree in measurable manner with exercises to address optimizing efforts. I have a great, great grand father Samuel and I do not know what in the Samuel social conventions may have been like several generations ago but have a pretty good imagination or at least had a Roman Catholic nine fingered nun who would tell me this as a child in my creative writing efforts. She invited all her students over for a party at her house from the St. Francis congregation in Houston and I dug up a mood ring in her back yard and she let me keep it. What powerful memories and lessons she has cast into my life and how thankful I am for her. Anyhow,

Walras's law is a principle in general equilibrium theory asserting that budget constraints imply that the values of excess demand (or, conversely, excess market supplies) must sum to zero.

where p sub set j is the price of good j and D sub set j and S sub set j are the demand and supply respectively of good j.

Walras's law is named after the economist Léon Walras of the University of Lausanne who formulated the concept in his Elements of Pure Economics of 1874. Fanklin's principles may be applied here.

This may explain as well Morrissey singing of hanging the D sub set j, hang the D j with a cross over mix. Some folks take Tequila shots in the dark and cry out an explanation: Mexican conjunto music, also known as conjunto tejano, was born in south Texas at the end of the 19th century, after German settlers introduced the button accordion. Guess those German settlers in Texas didn't care for the Second Reich of the German Empire, 1871–1918.

Trumpet players in military marching bands from the wall of Jericho days were actually, from a Mariachi band. They play all kinds of music. From the three amigos movie:

Qawwali is a form of Sufi devotional music popular in South Asia: in the Punjab and Sindh regions of Pakistan; in Hyderabad, Delhi and other parts of India, especially North India; as well as Dhaka, Chittagong, Sylhet and many parts of Bangladesh. Tequila is kind of complicated like a beautiful lady, worthy to sing for her heart in courtship.

Mexican conjunto music, also known as conjunto tejano, was born in south Texas at the end of the 19th century, after German settlers introduced the button accordion. When you mix the qawwali-conjunto as if cerveza and tequila shots, your not exactly formulating a military science equation but hey, everyone enjoys a parade and those who don't we can either kick out of our community or send to jail since we have stock in our private prison as the mayor and sheriff in a no competition gubernatorial race.

For the Tilma de Guadalupe sake!

The Fatimid Caliphate (Arabic: الفاطميون‎, al-Fāṭimīyūn) was an Ismaili Shia Islamic caliphate that spanned a large area of North Africa, from the Red Sea in the east to the Atlantic Ocean in the west.

The Virgin of Guadalupe is the patron saint of Mexico.

Grateful dead orchestrated wisdom to the exponential power of founding father Franklin's sagacity may be composed in orchestration for social justice:

Hear, listen to the trumpet from the qawwali-conjunto music group and consider with vision of heavenly angels as if even better than three dimensional television for qawwali-conjunto music videos:

The Three Secrets of Fátima consist of a series of apocalyptic visions and prophecies which were supposedly given to three young Portuguese shepherds, Lúcia Santos and her cousins Jacinta and Francisco Marto, by a Marian apparition, starting on May 13, 1917. The three children claimed to have been visited by the Virgin Mary six times between May and October 1917. The apparition is now popularly known as Our Lady of Fátima.

What is the celebration of the Virgin of Guadalupe?
About Our Lady of Guadalupe Day. It is believed that a man named Juan Diego encountered the Virgin Mary twice in Mexico City, on December 9 and December 12 in 1531. According to legend, Mary told Juan to ask the bishop to build a church on Tepeyac Hill.

According to the Book of Joshua, the Battle of Jericho was the first battle of the Israelites in their conquest of Canaan. According to Joshua 6:1-27, the walls of Jericho fell after Joshua's Israelite army marched around the city blowing their trumpets.

Now show your mathematical proofs for social justice kids!

(Hint, note FDR's four freedoms and LBJ's Great Society with a war on Poverty to compound Franklin's ethics in social conventional development charters)

Thanks uncle Roy
