I think that velocity and acceleration of price or any other variable can be used
but are not of highest importance. You can measure acceleration in buying or
selling or buying / selling speed. This can lead to better accuracy in determining
a possible magnitude of the price move. However acceleration and velocity can
never be main market variables since they are derivatives.

Not clear about " velocity by vectorS" - I think you meant by a vector.

Give me an example here how you would define a market movement in tensor.

Explain compress, rotate.

Give me an example of tensor vs super tensor.

Like what information? give me a couple of results here.

Sounds like over optimization to me.

I pure/good system does not have to have a trend definition built in it. The word trend
is confusing and hard to define in math terms.

Here is an car example: if a car has 20 gallon gas tank, travels and a speed of 40 mphat 30 mile per gallon fuel efficiency. How many miles will
the car go  before it stops
if there are 10 gallons in the tank?  = 300 miles at 40 mph.

You can describe market in vectors/tensors/matrix. However tensors imply that there is a
transformational law that exists between them.Care to comment?
