}}[[Ω]]. The last. The conclusion. The ultimate limit of a set. The [[end of days]]. The Battle of [[Tannhäuser Gate]]. The point at which [[Beyond Good and Evil: Prelude to a Philosophy of the Future|the Abyss looks back into you]]. The kind of derivative exposure [[one or more]] of the four horsemen of the [[apocalypse]] might like - namely one where you can use [[backtesting]] with 100% confidence because for the first and only time in the history of the universe you will have all possible data — no [[profound ontological uncertainty|doubt]] will remain — but it ''still'' won’t be any use BECAUSE THERE WILL BE NO FUTURE LEFT.

Look on the bright side: at least you can tell [[Compliance|Compliance]] to get stuffed if they ask you to insert the usual [[disclaimer]] that “[[past results are no guarantee of future performance]]”. The rapture is also the point at which, finally, the [[doctrine of precedent]] can be justified on logical grounds; the [[space-time continuum]] having reached its outer bounds, it finally being true that there is no infinity of events yet to take place, any of which could (and probabilistically speaking, will) utterly undermine the intellectual assumptions on which the stream of authorities to date has built its momentum.
