This book addresses the functioning of financial markets, in
particular the financial market model, and modelling. More
specifically, the book provides a model of adaptive preference in
the financial market, rather than the model of the adaptive
financial market, which is mostly based on Popper's objective
propensity for the singular, i.e., unrepeatable, event. As a
result, the concept of preference, following Simon's theory of
satisficing, is developed in a logical way with the goal of
supplying a foundation for a robust theory of adaptive preference
in financial market behavior. The book offers new insights into
financial market logic, and psychology: 1) advocating for the
priority of behavior over information - in opposition to
traditional financial market theories; 2) constructing the
processes of (co)evolution adaptive preference-financial market
using the concept of fetal reaction norms - between financial
market and adaptive preference; 3) presenting a new typology of
information in the financial market, aimed at proving point (1)
above, as well as edifying an explicative mechanism of the
evolutionary nature and behavior of the (real) financial market; 4)
presenting sufficient, and necessary, principles or assumptions for
developing a theory of adaptive preference in the financial market;
and 5) proposing a new interpretation of the pair
genotype-phenotype in the financial market model. The book's
distinguishing feature is its research method, which is mainly
logically rather than historically or empirically based. As a
result, the book is targeted at generating debate about the best
and most scientifically beneficial method of approaching,
analyzing, and modelling financial markets.
