Philosophy of mathematics asks what numbers are and whether they exist beyond human thought. This chart outlines the major schools. - Platonism says mathematical objects exist independently of us. - Formalism treats math as shuffling symbols under rules. - Logicism grounds everything in pure logic. - Intuitionism says math arises from valid mental constructions. - Structuralism studies structures and relations. - Fictionalism claims the entities need not literally exist; they just have to work. Suddenly algebra feels like philosophy.

Our philosophy: Test, Interpret, Optimize 1. Testing Orus is an autonomous agentic trading tool with endless possibilities. Anyone can customize an agent with their own rules, using dozens of parameters, build and run their own strategies and agents. 2. Interpretation Read and understand what your agent is doing. Don't just ask "is it working? is it profitable?": even profitable agents can be improved. Try to find what was wrong. 3. Optimization Agents have to keep getting better. That's why we keep shipping optimization features, and we want our community to bring ideas and features that could make Orus better. The three steps that will make Orus the leading agentic trading tool.

Our philosophy on extending 𝚏𝚡: open protocols. ∙ MCP (modelcontextprotocol⁠.io) ∙ Skills (agentskills⁠.io) ∙ Plugins (agent-plugins⁠.org) And the best one, Unix: ① Small programs that do one thing well and compose by calling other programs. ② 𝚕𝚒𝚋𝚏𝚡 that enables embeddability into more complex programs. You should be able to build your own CLI, background agent, software factory. Local or cloud.

My general investment philosophy for onchain is that you want to position yourself in ecosystems/assets that can not only capture flows and attention from crypto's current user base, but also have the ability to onboard net new users and capital to crypto. It's for this reason that I remain primarily allocated to Robinhood Chain, as I don't think any other ecosystem comes nearly as close to RHC on that second point.
