Gravitational Residual Model (GRM) is an innovative time series forecasting model inspired by the spacetime curvature concept from general relativity theory. The model treats volatility and momentum effects in financial markets as "gravitational anomalies" and corrects baseline predictions according to these anomalies.

Traditional time series models (ARIMA, GARCH) use linear and constant parameter assumptions. However, financial markets:
- Show regime changes (bull/bear markets)
- Exhibit volatility clustering
- Contain asymmetric shocks (leverage effect)
- Display long-term dependencies (long memory)
In general relativity, mass creates curvature in spacetime. Similarly in GRM:
"High volatility (mass) creates curvature in prediction space, and future predictions must be adjusted according to this curvature."
This analogy enables the model to:
- β Adapt to volatility changes
- β Model shock decay
- β Exhibit regime-specific behaviors
Schwarzschild solution describes the spacetime geometry created by a spherically symmetric, non-rotating mass. In GRM, this is used to model the simplest volatility effect.
Ξ(t+1) = Ξ± Β· M(t) Β· sign(Ξ΅(t)) Β· decay(Ο)
Parameters:
Ξ(t+1): Prediction correction at time t+1Ξ±: Gravitational interaction coefficient (model aggressiveness)M(t): "Mass" = Volatility = Var(Ξ΅[t-w:t])Ξ΅(t): Baseline residual (actual - prediction)Ο: Time elapsed since last shockdecay(Ο): Decay function = exp(-Ξ²Β·Ο)
- Mass (M): High volatility β Strong "gravitational field" β Large corrections
- Sign: Correction direction is determined by the sign of the last residual
- Decay: The effect of shocks diminishes over time (controlled by Ξ²)
Ε·(t+1) = Ε·_baseline(t+1) + Ξ(t+1)
The following visualization shows the evolution of the Schwarzschild GRM's "mass" parameter (volatility) over time:
Observations:
- π΄ High volatility periods (red regions): Major market shocks
- π’ Low volatility periods (green regions): Stable market conditions
- π Volatility clustering: High volatility periods come in groups
- β‘ Post-shock decay: Volatility decreases after shocks with exp(-Ξ²Β·Ο)
Mathematical Connection:
M(t) = Var(Ξ΅[t-20:t]) β (1/20) Ξ£ Ρ²(t-i)
The height of peaks in the graph shows the M(t) value in that period. M(t) β β Ξ(t+1) β
Kerr solution describes the geometry created by a rotating mass. In GRM, this is used to model momentum effects.
a(t) = Cov(Ξ΅[t-w:t], t) / Var(Ξ΅[t-w:t])
Time correlation of residuals β "rotation" effect (momentum)
Ξ(t+1) = Ξ± Β· M(t) Β· [1 + Ξ³Β·a(t)] Β· sign(Ξ΅(t)) Β· decay(Ο)
Ξ³: Spin-coupling coefficient- Positive momentum β Larger correction
- Negative momentum β Smaller correction
The spin parameter of Kerr GRM captures the momentum effect of residuals:
Spin Parameter a(t):
a(t) = Cov(Ξ΅[t-w:t], [1,2,...,w]) / Var(Ξ΅[t-w:t])
Visual Analysis:
- π΅ Positive spin (a > 0): Trend continuing β Strong momentum effect
- π΄ Negative spin (a < 0): Trend reversing β Mean reversion
- π‘ Near-zero spin: Random movements (random walk-like)
Kerr vs Schwarzschild Comparison:
Kerr GRM (orange line) performs better during momentum periods compared to Schwarzschild (blue). The difference in the graph shows the contribution of the Ξ³Β·a(t) term.
Multi-black hole system analogy. Each market regime is modeled as a separate "gravitational center."

Regime Detection:
labels = GMM(features) or DBSCAN(features)- Features: [volatility, autocorr, skewness, kurtosis, ...]
-
Parameter Optimization for Each Regime:
For each regime r: (Ξ±_r, Ξ²_r) = argmin RMSE(Ξ±, Ξ² | data_r) -
Weighted Correction:
Ξ(t+1) = Ξ£_r w_r(t) Β· Ξ_r(t+1)w_r(t): Membership probability to regime r (GMM) or distance-based (DBSCAN)
| Regime | Characteristics | Optimal Ξ± | Optimal Ξ² |
|---|---|---|---|
| Low Vol | Low volatility, high autocorr | 0.1 | 0.1 |
| High Vol | High volatility, low autocorr | 0.5 | 0.05 |
| Crash | Very high volatility, negative skew | 2.0 | 0.01 |
| Recovery | Medium volatility, positive momentum | 1.0 | 0.05 |
Multi-Body GRM defines the market as different "gravitational centers." Each regime creates an independent GRM with its own parameters.
4 Sub-Plot Analysis:
-
Top Left - Overall Regime Distribution:
- 20+ different regimes detected (GMM n_components=10)
- Dominant regimes: 6, 10, 12 (large bars)
- Rare regimes: 0, 18 (small bars β crisis periods)
-
Top Right - Train/Val/Test Split Comparison:
- β All regimes represented in each split (stratified sampling)
- β Risk of "unseen regime" in test set minimized
- Regime 10 (dominant): Dense in all splits
-
Bottom Left - Regime Timeline:
- X-axis: Time steps (3964 observations)
- Y-axis: Regime IDs
- π΄ Red line: Train|Val boundary
- π΅ Blue line: Val|Test boundary
- Observation: Regimes show clustering over time (similar market conditions can persist)
-
Bottom Right - Regime Transition Matrix (Transition Probability):
P(Regime_j | Regime_i) = Count(iβj) / Count(iβ*)- High diagonal elements β Persistent regimes
- Low off-diagonal elements β Few transitions
- Example: Regime 10 β Regime 10: P β 0.85 (very stable)
Mathematical Implication:
For each regime r:
Ξ_r(t+1) = Ξ±_r Β· M_r(t) Β· sign(Ξ΅_r(t)) Β· exp(-Ξ²_rΒ·Ο)
Final prediction:
Ξ(t+1) = Ξ£_r w_r(t) Β· Ξ_r(t+1)
w_r(t): GMM posterior probability or DBSCAN distance-based weight.
- 18 regimes, fewer than BTC (more homogeneous behavior)
- More uniform transition matrix β More frequent regime changes
- 15 regimes, fewest (stock market more stable)
- Very high transition matrix diagonal β Long-lasting trends
Bagging approach combining multiple GRM models.
Ε·_ensemble(t+1) = Ξ£_i w_i Β· Ε·_i(t+1)
Model Variations:
- Model 1: (Ξ±=0.5, Ξ²=0.01, window=10)
- Model 2: (Ξ±=1.0, Ξ²=0.05, window=15)
- Model 3: (Ξ±=2.0, Ξ²=0.10, window=20)
- Model 4: (Ξ±=0.5, Ξ²=0.10, window=30)
- Model 5: (Ξ±=1.0, Ξ²=0.01, window=20)
Weighting Strategies:
- Equal Weighting: w_i = 1/N
- Performance Weighting: w_i β 1/RMSE_i
- Inverse Variance: w_i β 1/Var(Ξ΅_i)
Ensemble GRM reduces model instability by combining multiple parameter combinations:
Graph Analysis:
- Baseline (Blue Line): ARIMA(1,0,1) standard predictions
- Single GRM (Orange): Single parameter set (Ξ±=2.0, Ξ²=0.1, w=20)
- Ensemble GRM (Green): Weighted average of 5 models
Mathematical Explanation:
Single GRM over-corrects in some periods (orange spikes), under-corrects in others. Ensemble reduces this variance:
Var(Ensemble) = Ξ£_i w_iΒ² Β· Var(Model_i) + 2 Ξ£_i<j w_i w_j Cov(Model_i, Model_j)
If models are negatively correlated β Var(Ensemble) < Var(Single)
4 Sub-Plots:
-
Top Left - Correction Over Time:
- Ensemble (blue) smoother β Variance reduction
- Adaptive (orange) more responsive β Adapts to volatility
-
Top Right - Correction Distribution:
- Both models zero-centered (zero-mean correction)
- Ensemble narrower distribution β More conservative
- Adaptive wider tails β Aggressive in extreme periods
-
Bottom Left - Absolute Correction:
- Adaptive has larger |correction| during high volatility
- This is direct result of Ξ±(t) adaptation
-
Bottom Right - Correction vs Actual Error:
- Ideal case: Each point near (0,0)
- Ensemble: More clustered (robust)
- Adaptive: More scattered but better for extremes
Volatility-based dynamic parameter adaptation.
Ξ±(t) = Ξ±_min + (Ξ±_max - Ξ±_min) Β· normalize(M(t))
normalize(M) = (M - M_min) / (M_max - M_min)
Intuition:
- Low volatility β Small Ξ± β Conservative correction
- High volatility β Large Ξ± β Aggressive correction
- Ξ±-volatility correlation: 0.992 β Nearly perfect adaptation!
- Mean Ξ±: 2.271
- Ξ± range: [1.295, 4.741]
The most critical feature of Adaptive GRM: Ξ± parameter adapts to market volatility in real-time.
3 Sub-Plot Detailed Analysis:
-
Top Graph - Alpha Evolution (Purple Line):
Ξ±(t) = Ξ±_min + (Ξ±_max - Ξ±_min) Β· [M(t) - M_min] / [M_max - M_min]- Beginning: Ξ± β 1.5 (low volatility)
- Mid-period: Ξ± β 4.5 (high volatility spike)
- End period: Ξ± β 2.0 (normalization)
- Mean Ξ± = 2.271 (red dashed line)
-
Middle Graph - Volatility (Mass) Evolution (Orange Line):
M(t) = Var(Ρ[t-20:t]) = (1/20) Σ_{i=1}^{20} Ρ²(t-i)- Observation: Every volatility spike perfectly aligns with α spike in top graph!
- Example: At tβ250, large volatility β Ξ± rose simultaneously
- Mean M = 0.001234 (red dashed line)
-
Bottom Graph - Alpha-Volatility Correlation (Scatter Plot):
- X-axis: Volatility (M)
- Y-axis: Alpha (Ξ±)
- Red dashed line: Linear regression
Ξ± = aΒ·M + b r = 0.992 β Pearson correlation coefficient- rΒ² β 0.984 β Volatility explains 98.4% of Ξ± variance!
- Point color: Time (viridis colormap)
- π£ Purple: Early period
- π‘ Yellow: Late period
Mathematical Intuition:
Low volatility (M β 0.0005):
Ξ±(t) β 1.3 β Ξ(t) = 1.3 Β· 0.0005 Β· sign(Ξ΅) = Β±0.00065
Small correction (conservative)
High volatility (M β 0.0025):
Ξ±(t) β 4.7 β Ξ(t) = 4.7 Β· 0.0025 Β· sign(Ξ΅) = Β±0.01175
Large correction (aggressive) β 18x stronger!
- Ξ± range: [1.5, 6.2] (wider than BTC β ETH more volatile)
- Correlation: 0.989 (still very high)
- Ξ± range: [0.8, 2.5] (narrower than BTC β SPY more stable)
- Correlation: 0.995 (highest! β Because SPY more predictable)
- Observation: In SPY, Ξ± rarely exceeds 2
Conclusion: Adaptive GRM synchronizes Ξ± with volatility regardless of asset's volatility profile. This shows the model is asset-agnostic.

Baseline RMSE: 0.011261
Ensemble RMSE: 0.010333 (β 8.24%) β Highest improvement!
Adaptive RMSE: 0.010400 (β 7.65%)
Why is SPY improvement highest?
- SPY more predictable (low volatility, high liquidity)
- ARIMA baseline already good, but GRM's small corrections still make difference
- In crypto (BTC, ETH) more noise β Improvement relatively lower
Residual analysis tests whether the model makes systematic errors.
9 Sub-Plots (3Γ3 Grid):
Row 1: Baseline Model
-
Histogram (Left):
- Residuals approximately normally distributed (Gaussian)
- Slight right-skew (positive tail longer)
- Ideal: Perfectly symmetric, zero-centered
-
Q-Q Plot (Middle):
Theoretical quantiles vs Sample quantiles- Points deviate from reference line (in tails)
- Interpretation: Residuals not perfectly normal (heavy tails)
- This is typical in financial data (fat-tailed distributions)
-
ACF Plot (Right):
Autocorrelation Function: Corr(Ξ΅_t, Ξ΅_{t-k})- Blue shading: 95% confidence interval
- Slight positive autocorr at lag 1 (significant)
- Interpretation: Slight temporal dependency in residuals
- Ideal: autocorr β 0 for all lags (white noise)
Row 2: Ensemble GRM
- Histogram: Narrower (lower variance)
- Q-Q Plot: Similar to baseline (deviation in tails)
- ACF: Lag 1 autocorr reduced (but still present) β Interpretation: GRM partially captured temporal dependency
Row 3: Adaptive GRM
- Histogram: Narrowest distribution (lowest variance)
- Q-Q Plot: Similar pattern
- ACF: Very similar to baseline β Interpretation: Adaptive reduces variance but doesn't fully remove autocorr
Overall Assessment:
For all models:
- β Residuals approximately zero-centered (unbiased predictions)
β οΈ Heavy tails (deviation from normality) β Nature of financial marketsβ οΈ Slight autocorrelation β More advanced modeling may be needed (GARCH, etc.)
Mathematical Test:
Ljung-Box Test:
H0: Residuals are white noise (autocorr = 0)
Q = n(n+2) Ξ£_{k=1}^h (Ο_kΒ² / (n-k))If p-value < 0.05 β Reject H0 β Autocorr present
GRM models increased Ljung-Box p-value (0.03 β 0.08) but still borderline.
- Heavier tails β ETH more unpredictable
- More significant lags in ACF
- Much better Q-Q plot (closer to normal distribution)
- Nearly all lags insignificant in ACF β Nearly white noise!

Interpolated Surface (Transparent Layer):

Fills between points with smooth interpolation.
-
Zero-Plane (Gray Plane): Z = 0 reference plane. Shows corrections distributed around zero.
Physical Intuition:
This surface resembles a real gravitational potential surface:
Ξ¦(r) = -GM/r (Newtonian potential)
In GRM:
Ξ(M) β Ξ±Β·M (Linear potential)
Surface Topography:
- Flat regions (Y β 0.0005): Low volatility β Low corrections
- Steep slopes (Y > 0.002): High volatility β Large corrections
- Ridges and valleys: Positive and negative correction alternation
Statistical Annotation (Top left corner):
Mean Correction: 0.000003
Std Correction: 0.000428
Max |Correction|: 0.002145
Corr(Vol, |Correction|): 0.874
Corr(Vol, |Correction|) = 0.874:
This shows strong positive correlation between volatility and correction magnitude. That is:
M β β |Ξ| β
Exactly as designed: High "mass" β Strong "gravitational field"
- Steeper surface β ETH has more extreme volatility
- Y-axis max value: ~0.004 (vs ~0.0025 in BTC)
- Corr(Vol, |Correction|): 0.891 (higher β ETH more volatile)
- Flattest surface β SPY most stable
- Y-axis max value: ~0.0008 (3x lower than BTC)
- Very smooth surface β Gradual corrections
- Corr(Vol, |Correction|): 0.812 (lowest β SPY more predictable)

Critical Finding:
Ξ±-volatility correlation = 0.992
This shows adaptive alpha is nearly perfectly synchronized with volatility. Model adapts to market conditions in real-time!
Mathematical Validation:
The following graph shows the relationship between Ξ±(t) and M(t):
From scatter plot (bottom graph):

Analogy:
Prediction Correction β Geometric Curvature
Volatility (M) β Mass
Momentum (a) β Angular Momentum (spin)
Event horizon radius:

Two nearby particles move apart in gravitational field (tidal force).
In GRM: Two nearby time points show prediction differences in high volatility periods.
Theorem: GRM can capture ARCH effects.
Proof Sketch:
- ARCH(1): ΟΒ²(t) = Ξ±β + Ξ±βΡ²(t-1)
- GRM correction: Ξ(t) β Var(Ξ΅[t-w:t])
- Var(Ξ΅[t-w:t]) β (1/w)ΣΡ²(t-i) β Moving average of squared residuals
- β΄ GRM implicitly captures conditional heteroskedasticity
Theorem: decay(Ο) = exp(-Ξ²Ο) term is equivalent to Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process.
Proof:
dX = -Ξ²(X - ΞΌ)dt + ΟdW
Solution: X(t) = ΞΌ + (X(0) - ΞΌ)e^(-Ξ²t) + noise
In GRM, as Ο increases correction β 0, i.e., mean reversion.
