16. Why is the problem multidimensional?

Representing the price development of a security is a comparatively simple task. One can represent the successive prices in a system of coordinates with an x- and a y-axis, where the height (y-value) indicates the price and the x-axis represents time, for example. Every point on the chart thus generated is clearly defined by a pair of x,y-values.

The analyses conducted by NeuroStrategy, however, include many such two-dimensional representations, and the state of a security at a particular point in time is determined by all of these individual points in their connection. If the description is to include, in addition to the level of price and the point in time, the current trading volume, for example, this could still be illustrated spatially by means of a graph with three axes. Instead of a line (the development of price over time), we would thus obtain a plane.

In the NeuroStrategy system, the state of a security at a particular point in time is described by 18 inputs. Since time (a description per day of trading) constitutes another dimension, a NeuroStrategy mesh operates in a 19-dimensional data space. Aside from the fact that a normal person is unable to imagine such a space, there should hardly be a person who could still perform calculations in such as space.
