money = money(t)

inflation = d money / dt

rate of increase of inflation = d^2 money / dt^2

rate of change in rate of increase of inflation = d^3 money / dt^3

rate of increase of inflation was decreasing = sign(d^3 money / dt^3)

Huh?

I parse it as,

money = money(t)

inflation = d money / dt

rate of change (increase or decrease) on inflation = d^2 money / dt^2

^^^^ and this is the one w/ a low value

It doesn't have a low value, but it itself is decreasing, thereby referring to money's third derivative.

Aaaaaah, OK, I see it now.
