Higher order math and love in medias res with Carlos Zapata Carratalá

Full episode on You Tube at Love & Philosophy.

Carlos is a founder of the Society for Multidisciplinary and Fundamental Research (SEMF), and a Postdoctoral Fellow and Head of Strategy at the Wolfram Institute, a recently established research institution dedicated to the investigation of the mathematical foundations of computation and the legacy of Stephen Wolfram's scientific ideas. This talk explores his childhood fascination with physics and mathematics towards a multifaceted academic and personal exploration of higher order maths and relations in a quest for a deeper understanding of the universe's complexities. Carlos eloquently discusses the challenges of aligning personal passions with academic pursuits, his evolving interests leading to groundbreaking reflections on higher order mathematics, complexity theory, and their applications to understanding not just the cosmos but the complexities of human relationships, especially within the context of polyamorous dynamics. The narrative weaves together the beauty of scientific inquiry, mathematical honesty, and the deep, introspective examination of human connections, advocating for a boundary-defying approach to knowledge and love.
