Order and Chaos, Symmetry and Randomness, Chance and Change; these are some of the interesting dualisms in the contemporary era of cacophony and , cognisance.

Beyond these dualisms, beneath those binaries, there is a flow of fusion! A fusion of virtual finance and cognitive labor. This is nothing but the entourage of ontological capitalism. Epistemology and Ephemerals have become the new norms of the capitalist circuitry.

Going by the hype around these constructs, we can sense the supreme importance of these words to the wizards of wall streets and elsewhere.

Some economists says there is spontaneous order. They see ontological order in every human action and human design. Do we need to differentiate and delineate the human design and human action in a market economy? It may not be necessary.

In this exploration, I have come across an interesting term — transactional finance. Transactional finance is an interesting term to represent the fluidity of finance capital in the world of trade and commerce. It has engulfed all conventional forms of capital in magical and magnificent ways!
