- Using Shepherd's duality theorem, the demand functions are found by differentiating the cost functions with respect to price. By specifying that the cost function corresponds to a Cobb-Douglas production function, the fuel share equation is a function only of the prices of the individual fuels.

My comments contain words such as "principles, quantum mechanics, QCD, Higgs, Lorentz symmetry, gravity, spin, effective field theory, black holes, geometry, duality," etc.; this is the sign of someone developing an argument with real physical content...

In projective geometry, duality allows points and planes to be interchanged in theorems, leading to corresponding dual statements.
-
The principle of duality in geometry is illustrated by the relationship between points and planes in projective space.

Etymology
Duality comes from the Latin duo 'two', and in geometry it means there are two matching ways to state a result when you swap parts, so duality lets you change points and planes and get a corresponding statement.
