Which parts of this life rise and fall together — especially the ones nobody would expect. Explore the web, then test your own guesses.
Unexpected links — different parts of life, the same rhythm
Every pair of values with at least 36 months priced side by side was compared month by month: 41,573 pairs, after removing each month's whole-market move. Only 133 link two different, unrelated parts of life far beyond chance. The strongest:
The map — which parts of life move together
Every part of life against every other. Each square averages all the pairs of values between the two — green: on the whole they rise and fall together; red: one tends to rise when the other falls; dark: no shared rhythm. A dot marks squares holding at least one strong link. Point at a square to read it; click to open its strongest pair.
The web — explore the links
Every value of this life, and every link measured between them: 390 pairs out of 41,573 keep rising and falling in the same months — or in opposite months — for years, with the whole market's move taken out. By sector shows the anatomy: a hub for each part of life, its values around it, the links crossing between. By links dissolves the sectors: only the links hold values together, so each cluster is a group of parts of life that move as one, whatever they are called. Click any value to see everything it is connected to.
What comes first — one moves, the other follows
One value moves; a month later the other answers. Green: the first, month by month. Yellow: the second, shifted back one month so the answer sits on top of the move — turned upside down when it answers the other way. 28 pairs found; the strongest:
The pair lab — any two values, three ways
Pick two values. The dots are their months side by side: each dot is one month, how much the first moved across, the second up — a cloud leaning up-right means they move together. The second chart follows the link through the years (36-month window): links are born, fade, flip. The third asks who goes first: bars to the right mean the first value leads by that many months.

JZX Composite — 2008 to 2026

The whole history as a market: the years, the seasons, the falls and recoveries, the attention paid.
The story in years
How each year of life closed against the year before.
When life trades up
Average composite move per calendar month, across all 18.7 years — life's seasons.
Falls & recoveries — life underwater
How far below its own best life traded, every month. Zero is the surface — a new all-time high; everything below is time spent climbing back.
The hardest fall: from a peak of 1,820.17 in 2010-01 down −86.8% to 240.85 in 2021-04. That peak has not been regained yet.
Longest climb: 11 months up in a row
(2022-09 → 2023-08).
Longest slide: 7 months down in a row
(2015-01 → 2015-08).
Exterior vs interior — the value displacement
The world prices what it produces; the JZX prices what it is like to be alive. Both markets below start at 100 in 2008 — the S&P 500 measuring the exterior economy, the JZX Composite measuring one human interior: experiences, intellect, sexuality, health, emotion. Year over year the two barely speak: correlation +0.06 — a life's value obeys its own law. Read the essay on value displacement →
The witnessing
The act of valuation itself — how many prices were set each month since 2008. A portrait of the attention a life pays to itself.
What was written next to the prices — notes and chronicles, placed in time.
Every month that left words behind, replayed as an earnings call on a life — 75 market chronicles (2008–2015), then the archive's notes carry the story on. Each chronicle is shown complete, with every note the month left. The gold cursor on the small chart is where you are in the life — click anywhere on it to travel. The numbers are real; the market is a person.
The constellation — every note, placed where it was spoken
All the notes of the archive as one sky: left to right is time, up and down is the move the note witnessed — green rising, red falling. The bigger the star, the harder the move. Click a star to read it.
