The Curve Replaces the Crowd

the curve replaces the crowd

No buyer waits for a seller; no order book holds a crowd of intentions.

A single algebraic invariant, x times y equals k, replaces the noisy negotiation of a thousand traders. Liquidity becomes a shape, not a queue, and price is read off a curve rather than argued into existence.

The market is not a meeting. It is a function.
