Econometrics generally apply to reductive/selective research and observations. True and actual paradigm changes however are always characterized by conceptual opposition, inversions of temporal reality and entire pattern changes…as that is what a paradigm is, a mental and temporal pattern change.
Paradigm changes are the closest thing to magic that we can experience short of what is referred to as cosmic consciousness, which experience is simply a direct integration of the normal egoistic consciousness with a higher level of awareness of the electro-magnetic milieu that is the present moment.
