Abstract Probability theory and the metaphysical category of possibility are based on the notion of “states of the world” (or possible worlds). In the market, the only states of the world are prices. Contingency is a very general category that is independent of thelaterdivision of the world into identifiable states or the recognition of the different possible worlds that the world might be. Metaphysical thought later works contingency into the notion of separable possible states. However, pure and absolute (and initial) contingency only minimally says that the world or that the things in it could have been different. A
