This was an interesting read - reminded me of another article [1] I read in 2013 about using a high-dimensional 'jewel' to describe reality, which then turned out to be an extremely efficient way to do the calculations from a Feynman Diagram. I'm still holding out hope that a unified theory will be found within my lifetime, and that these kinds of math will hold the key.
