RobWords: Britain’s Celtic languages explained at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mroBpgBw0gU This was very interesting, if a little “jumping around”.

If you are doing it, then calculate the cost for just over 5 Billion humans using the Internet to have access to ALL mathematics. And you should quickly find that LLM statistical indexing in grossly inefficient, at that scale, compared to storing symbolic mathematics, its operations, and very very precise answers as data.
