Want to use this math for early indicators? Take a surface characteristic, like road density, light emissions (infrared or visible), people density, sewer density, oil tanker density, shipping lane density; and perform the same operation. A great tool for economic geography, and done over time we get the regional yield curves of production.
IndigoOlives will get into that, and you can bet Google is all over this. This is done at PARC, Palo Alto with Google up the road.
And, least I forget, this method will be popular in computer vision.

Hi Matt! You are a kind sort, and intuitive as well. I appreciated your comment on my blog, and could not have phrased my thoughts better than you did here on your own site. That is exactly what I had in mind, although I didn't take it any farther.
A Zerohedge fan, are you? Me too, to a degree. His site is very fun sometimes. Other times, I get to feeling depressed about the state of things. I feel loyalty to ZeroHedge though. In my minimal direct dealings with them, they have been uncommonly polite and cordial.
I've seen you around recently, back over on TypePad econ blogs. Hope all is well for you.
Matt, see my comment on Ellie's site. It looks like Crust was written in 1997.
