Abstract

An adaptive stochastic transaction system in which a vendor or first transactor offers a trade object to a vendee or second transactor at a variable, stochastic offer value formed from a pseudorandom value. The vendor communicates the stochastic offer value to the vendee in the form of a stochastic decision tuple, including an offer interval signifying the validity period of the offer value. The tuple is formed and communicated to incline the vendee to accept the offer for the trade object. The system is adaptive in that vendee and communication system responses are monitored to maximize transaction system enterprise parameters.

9. The trading system of claim 1, wherein the vendee accepts the object offer at the purchase value responsive to a selected one of the sequence of stochastic tuples, the purchase value corresponding to a proposed offer value comprising the selected one of the sequence of stochastic tuples.

10. The trading system of claim 2, wherein the vendor proposes the object offer to a plurality of vendees through the communication link.

11. The trading system of claim 10, further comprising a sequence of stochastic tuples communicated by the vendor to the plurality of vendees during a defined transaction period.

12. The trading system of claim 11, wherein one of the plurality of vendees accepts the object offer at the purchase value responsive to a selected one of the sequence of stochastic tuples, the purchase value corresponding to a proposed offer value comprising the selected one of the sequence of stochastic tuples.

13. The trading system of claim 12, wherein selected tuples of the sequence of stochastic tuples comprise both a stochastic offer interval and a stochastic offer value.

14. The trading system of claim 13, further comprising:

an object manager adapting a selected vendor object property responsive to one of data relative to the object offer, the vendor, and the vendee; and

one of

an operations communication link coupling the vendor and the object manager, whereby the vendor and the object manager communicate data relative to the object offer; and

a commerce communication link coupling the vendee and the object manager, whereby the vendee and the object manager communicate data relative to the object offer.

15. The trading system of claim 10, wherein the vendor proposes the object offer within a preselected marketing schema, wherein the preselected marketing schema entices the vendee to receive the object offer of the vendor, and wherein the preselected marketing schema comprises an interactive, multimedia entertainment schema.

16. The trading system of claim 1, wherein the object offer represents one of a product, a service, and a combination thereof.

17. A transaction system, comprising a first transactor and a second transactor coupled by a communication route, wherein the first transactor signals a stochastic decision tuple to the second transactor, and wherein the stochastic decision tuple induces a behavior in the second transactor.

18. A method for effecting a transaction of an object offered at a offer value by a first transactor being accepted by a second transactor, comprising:

a. generating a stochastic tuple corresponding to the offer value by the first transactor;

b. communicating the stochastic tuple from the first transactor to the second transactor;

c. receiving the stochastic tuple by the second transactor, the stochastic tuple representing the offer value and an offer limit;

d. considering the offer value by the second transactor; and

e. if the second transactor accepts the object offered at the offer value, then the second transactor accepting the object responsive to the offer limit.

19. A transaction system, comprising a first transactor and a second transactor coupled by a communication route, wherein the first transactor signals a stochastic decision tuple to the second transactor, and wherein the stochastic decision tuple induces a behavior in the second transactor.

20. A transaction system, comprising a first transactor and a second transactor coupled by a communication route, wherein the first transactor generates a plurality of stochastic decision tuples selectively drawn from respective plural stochastic generation processes having predetermined process distribution envelopes, wherein the first transactor signals a stochastic decision tuple to the second transactor, wherein the stochastic decision tuple induces a behavior in the second transactor, wherein the behavior in the second transactor is one of a plurality of business indicators, and wherein the transaction system is adaptively responsive to selected business indicators to maximize an enterprise parameter.

21. A trading system, comprising:

a vendor disposed to propose an object offer at a first offer value;

a vendee disposed to accept the object offer at a second offer value with a value magnitude less than the first offer value;

a communication link coupling the vendor and the vendee, whereby the vendor and the vendee communicate data relative to an object offer;

a stochastic sequence generator generating at least one of the first offer value and the second offer value in response to a preselected Transaction Driver function Z;

wherein the vendor proposes the object offer to the vendee through the communication link;

wherein the data relative to an object offer includes a stochastic tuple related to the offer value;

wherein the preselected Transaction Driver function Z corresponds to predetermined trade dimensions; and

wherein the vendee is induced to accept the object offer in which the second offer value is generally less than the first offer value.

22. A method for a transaction system, comprising:

generating a sequence of trade object offer values for a trade object responsive to a preselected Transaction Driver function Z by a prospective seller, wherein the preselected Transaction Driver function Z corresponds to predetermined trade dimensions and at least a portion of ones of the trade object value being an adaptively stochastic value;

sequentially transmitting ones of the sequence of trade object offer values to the prospective buyer from the prospective seller over a communication link;
