Uncertainty Principle - Physics and Finance

In 1927, Heisenberg  putforth uncertainty principle to the world of quantum physics.

It stated that, more precisely the position is determined,  less precisely momentum  could be determined.  The uncertainty principle was in the context of subatomic particles. Mathematically, the principle states that the product of error (Root Mean Square in deviation from average) in position and momentum  would be greater than or equal to a positive constant.

Contextual paralleling from subatomic particles to financial world (both evidencing wave nature in its existence) seems to be relevant in current colossal collapses. Position parameter referred in Heisenberg’s principle could be the stability factor, indicating foundation of any financial institution or quantitatively capital factored parameter. The momentum factor which is product of mass & velocity, could correspond to sustainability factor, product of assets (mass) and risk exposures (velocity). The fundamentals here would be that risk is a reckoning factor for growth.

Wrapping Heisenberg principle over Financial world will stipulate that the deviation in precising stability and sustainability of an FI would always be non-zero positive constant. (Value of constant may depend on risk models to arrive at a constant equivalent to Planck’s constant in Heisenberg's principle). The models we devise to arrive at an minimum error stability factor will unfocus precision in attaining sustainability factor and vice versa.  In the current scenario, high error in sustainability factor and high error in stability factor which obviously didn’t attempt to minimize the Heisenberg product to the minimum levels of the constant.

Logically, quantum physics and more generically laws of physics do find application in the world of money. Probably a data mapper from physics to finance would be handy at this hour to easily assimilate the proven principles in physics for a prudent future with predictability to avoid catastrophic surprises in finacial world.
