How 25 formulas, live visitor data, and a $10 million starting balance create a trading floor from nothing.
Every second, a number crosses the wire. Not from a stock exchange. Not from a bank. From your browser.
The PSC price is the raw, unfiltered count of human attention — visitors currently on this site, right now, reading these words. When you arrived, the price moved. When you leave, it will move again.
There is no order book. No market maker. No dark pool. Just the hum of HTTP connections tallied into a single number, with a thin layer of micro-volatility that makes the flat line breathe.
This is the foundation. Everything else — the formulas, the trading, the leaderboard — is built on top of this single observation: attention has a price.
Systems degrade. Attention fades. Memory erodes. The question is never whether — it's how fast. Exponential decay models the universal truth: the rate of loss is proportional to what remains.
The decay constant λ determines the half-life. High λ means rapid collapse. Low λ means a slow, creeping fade. Adjust the sliders below and watch the curve respond.
Some systems don't just fall — they ring. A pendulum swings. A bridge vibrates. A market overcorrects, then overcorrects the overcorrection. Damped oscillation captures this rhythm of decay-within-motion.
The envelope shrinks exponentially while the wave inside keeps oscillating. Eventually, stillness. But the path there is never straight.
Perspective is not metaphorical here. It's geometric. The angle at which you observe a system determines what information reaches you. Widen the field and you gain context but lose resolution. Narrow it and you see detail but miss the perimeter.
Position tells you where. Velocity tells you where next. In this system, velocity is the first derivative of the price — the momentum that carries trades forward, the invisible hand that pushes the line before you can react.
When you buy, you add positive impulse. When you sell, negative. The system absorbs it, decays it, and moves on. Your trade is a ripple. The question is whether you're riding the wave or creating one.
Everything that grows eventually stops. Populations hit carrying capacity. Markets saturate. Hype cycles peak. The logistic function captures this truth with mathematical precision — the S-curve that bends just when you think growth is infinite.
K is the ceiling. r is the growth rate. The inflection point — where growth shifts from accelerating to decelerating — is the most dangerous moment. It looks like the top, but it's only the middle.
You start with $10,000,000. The number isn't arbitrary — it's George W. Bush's estimated painting output since leaving office (~400) multiplied by Jimmy Carter's peanut farm acreage (~2,500), with a zero added for fun.
Choose a lot size. Hit BUY or SELL. The price will move — partly because of visitors, partly because of your trade's impact on velocity. Your position P&L updates in real time.
But here's the rule that matters: you must CASH OUT to record your score. Paper gains don't count. Running your balance to zero erases everything. Only a deliberate cash-out locks your P&L on the leaderboard.
The top 50 are displayed for everyone to see. No registration. No password. Just a callsign and the courage to close.
We build systems at the intersection of mathematics, infrastructure, and human behavior. Our work turns chaos into structure — and structure into insight.
