And in the end, as we’ll discuss later, that’s a more flexible and powerful way to communicate. But then mathematical notation was invented, and math took off—with the development of algebra, calculus, and eventually all the various mathematical sciences. But it doesn’t work unless the Wolfram Language code is exactly right.

In 2000 I was interested in what the simplest possible axiom system for logic (Boolean algebra) might be. Yes, there can be a lot of flexibility in this model. Perhaps even the architecture of the network can change. Probably it’s because neural nets capture the architectural essence of actual brains.

I have also been advocating for STEM programmes to develop more flexibility and to be more accessible. I work with the Project for Inmate Education programme at UCSC, where I teach algebra and astronomy in Santa Cruz jail facilities. This was a community I had really been missing; now, it’s great to feel fully understood by peers.

Mathematics is normally done at the level of “specific mathematical concepts” (like, say, algebraic equations or hyperbolic geometry)—that are effectively the “populated places” (or “populated reference frames”) of metamathematical space. Imagine for example that one has a neural net with a certain architecture.
