Political Rhetoric

This notebook treats presidential tweets as a temporal trajectory in embedding space and uses CVX native analytics to study how rhetorical dynamics correlate with economic indicators.

Instead of bag-of-words sentiment, we embed every tweet with a sentence transformer, aggregate to daily mean vectors, and build a CVX temporal index. Then:

1. Semantic Anchoring: Project the trajectory onto 6 rhetorical anchors (economy, trade war, immigration, media attack, self-praise, threat) via cvx.project_to_anchors().
2. Change Point Detection: Detect rhetorical regime shifts with cvx.detect_changepoints() and overlay known political events.
3. Economic Alignment: Align tweet trajectory velocity with VIX, S&P 500, oil, USD, and Treasury yields.
4. Topic Drift & Signatures: Measure persistence (cvx.hurst_exponent()), path signatures (cvx.path_signature()), and Wasserstein drift across political periods.
5. Event Study: Identify tweet storms via embedding velocity spikes and measure market reaction windows.
6. Classification: Can CVX rhetorical features predict next-day S&P 500 direction?

Strategy	CVX Functions	Signal
Anchor Projection	project_to_anchors, anchor_summary	Rhetorical focus over time
Regime Detection	detect_changepoints	Rhetorical phase transitions
Velocity	velocity	Rate of topic change
Persistence	hurst_exponent	Erratic vs persistent rhetoric
Signatures	path_signature, signature_distance	Period-level rhetorical fingerprints

8. Classification — Can Rhetoric Predict Market Direction?

Build a simple classifier using CVX-derived features to predict next-day S&P 500 direction.

Features: anchor distances (6), anchor trends (6), Hurst, velocity magnitude, signature components (depth 1 on rolling 7-day windows), tweet count.

Temporal split: train on 2015-2019, test on 2020-2021. No future leakage.

Summary

CVX Functions Used

Section	CVX Function	Purpose
Index Construction	TemporalIndex, bulk_insert, save/load	Build and persist temporal index of daily tweet embeddings
Anchor Projection	project_to_anchors(metric='cosine')	Transform D=384 trajectory into 6D rhetorical coordinate system
Anchor Statistics	anchor_summary()	Mean, min, trend, last distance per anchor
Change Points	detect_changepoints()	Detect rhetorical regime shifts in both raw and projected space
Velocity	velocity()	Rate of rhetorical topic change per day
Persistence	hurst_exponent()	Persistent vs erratic rhetoric per political period
Signatures	path_signature(depth=2)	Period-level rhetorical fingerprints
Period Comparison	signature_distance()	Quantify how rhetoric changed across eras
Topic Drift	wasserstein_drift()	Rolling optimal-transport drift on topic distributions
Drift Analysis	drift()	L2 + cosine displacement between consecutive days

Key Findings

Analysis	Result
Anchor projection	6 rhetorical dimensions capture distinct temporal patterns across political periods
Change point detection	CVX automatically detects regime shifts near known political events (trade war, COVID, election)
Velocity-VIX alignment	Embedding velocity spikes (rapid topic shifts) align with VIX spikes during crisis periods
Hurst exponent	Rhetoric becomes more erratic (lower H) during crisis periods vs more persistent during stable governance
Path signatures	COVID and Post-Election periods have largest signature distance from Year 1 (most different rhetorical dynamics)
Market prediction	CVX rhetorical features provide signal above random/momentum baselines, with anchor trends as top features

Design Principle

CVX as the analytical backbone. Every metric in this notebook is computed through CVX native functions. The sentence transformer produces embeddings; CVX handles all temporal analytics: projection, drift, velocity, persistence, change points, signatures, and optimal transport. No ad-hoc distance computations outside the CVX API.
