The Algorithmic Mind Building Autonomous Systems for Behavioral Exploitation at Scale: The Next Frontier in Trading Isn't Human. - Applied Game Theory

Reactive Publishing

The Algorithmic Mind is the final volume in Hayden Van Der Post's trilogy on cognitive dominance in finance. Following the success of Game Theory & Behavioral Finance and Strategic Alpha, this book completes the evolution, from mastering the psychology of markets to engineering fully autonomous exploitation engines that think, adapt, and scale.

This is not a book about automation.
It's a book about warfare, at the algorithmic level.

• How to design self-learning financial agents that evolve strategic intelligence

• The architecture of behavioral exploitation systems that weaponize market psychology

• How to use large language models (LLMs) to track, predict, and influence irrational decision-making

• The secrets behind multi-agent simulations, game dynamics, and synthetic market environments

• How to build recursive causality engines that identify, test, and act on strategic edge at scale

• Frameworks for building autonomous trading protocols that operate across time zones, asset classes, and sentiment shifts

• Superintelligence by Nick Bostrom

• Prediction Machines by Ajay Agrawal

• The Man Who Solved the Market by Gregory Zuckerman

• The Master Algorithm by Pedro Domingos

Quants. Algorithmic traders. Coders. Psychologists. Engineers. Visionaries.

If you believe alpha is engineered, not discovered...
If you see markets as a system of predictable irrationality...
And if you're ready to build machines that think in second-order probabilities, act in microseconds, and evolve in real time

Then The Algorithmic Mind will become your doctrine.
