Thanks for sharing. I remember reading Introduction to Lambda Calculus many years ago and it was one of those times where I had crazy math dreams and would wonder around SF convinced everything is functions. Like literally everything.

I miss having the crazy math dreams I used to get when I was in college. If only life could be an endless stream of turning over new stones.

The emergent patterns are... stunning. Especially the ones around 2m35s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kL9BTbIGxLg&t=2m35s

I will never cease to be amazed by the range of thought experiments that get published as math papers.

This is math junk food. Pretty though.

I would call it art, not junk food.
