Software Astrology

Reprinted from http://www.dumpanalysis.org/blog/index.php/2008/12/01/the-deep-meaning-of-astrology/

A bit of digression on the first winter day in Ireland. What does it mean to be meanigful as astrology? It is meaningful as Tr O(Log y):

AsTrOLogy ↔ As Tr O(Log y) ↔ As O(Log y) ↔ bound (or dominated in case of small-o notation) by Log y after some y >= y₀ or bound (or dominated in case of small-o notation) by -logy. So Astrology is bounded and dominated by Y (Why?) lowered in magnitude by Log. Bounded and dominated by the this ultimate question…

Tr is trace operation in linear algebra. Tr (a number) = a number by definition of a 1×1 matrix
O is Big O notation
