Show HN: Is the market a Gödelian system? 400K evolution cycles later (github.com/garylauchina)

Is the market itself a Gödelian system—inherently incomplete and unpredictable from within?

I tried to find out through 400K+ evolution cycles with zero predefined strategies. Just 4 rules: features, death, rebirth, linear weighting.

The system evolved patterns I never designed. It found boundaries I didn't know existed. But it also revealed something deeper: 28.5% of agent behavior remained "mysterious"— unexplainable by any observable features.

Maybe that's the point. We can't fully predict the market. But we can measure its complexity, observe its boundaries, and understand its limits.

Would love critical feedback, especially from those who think I'm wrong.
