Actually, what I (Lorraine Lee, aka n8chz) had in mind here is simply the linearization of nonlinear pricing schemes. I understand that pricing is not a primary concern of Consumerium. Prices are said to contain information, though. I can see how you do not want Consumerium to degenerate into a "shop bot." | Actually, what I (Lorraine Lee, aka n8chz) had in mind here is simply the linearization of nonlinear pricing schemes.

:Linearization of non-linear price schemes? Here in Finland where I live we have mandatory standardised pricing labeling in stores ie. there are the prices per litre or per kilogram in all labels, this makes price comparison much simpler. There might be some interest in doing [[price premium]] comparisons automatically, say [[import]]ed [[transport|flying]] [[tomato]]es vs. nuclear [[greenhouse]] [[tomato]]es vs. [[renewable energy]] greenhouse [[tomato]]es, but we really don't want to get involved into price data security issues right now. | :Linearization of non-linear price schemes?
