Thirty Seven
Essays that wander between cosmology, AI, markets, philosophy, parenting, and the quiet work of making sense of things.
Yoneda's Big Idea. Yoneda’s Lemma is a famous result from category theory. The main idea can be said in plain language: You can understand what something is by understanding how it relates to everything else. That’s it.
[Part 2] Holography, Error Correction, and the Strange Loop of Understanding. If you read Part 1, you already have the core intuition: the deepest level may be quantum information, while spacetime is a stable, useful rec
Modern physics suggests that reality has a deeper structure beneath the things we see. In this post, I sketch a simple, intuitive picture of how that structure works. Imagine you’re watching a 3D movie with special glass
...fall in love, and drift apart. This blog is an attempt understand something we experience every day but rarely describe clearly: how people interact with other people while everything, including each person, keeps cha
A Physics-First Perspective on Minds, Matter, and Meaning . Intelligence isn’t magic, and it isn’t something trapped inside brains or computers. Intelligence is a dynamic, low-algorithmic-entropy structure—a configuratio
Why intelligence may be a natural outcome of ph ysics Is intelligence rare, or is it everywhere? We often think of intelligence as something fragile and exceptional, tied to human brains and life on Earth. But if the law
Imagine it’s the late 19th century, and humanity has just invented the automobile—a machine that moves without horses, entirely powered by internal combustion. This invention alone was revolutionary. But imagine if cars,

How complexity makes choice feel real even if the universe follows fixed rules . Every day we make choices, big and small, and it feels like we’re genuinely free to decide. But for centuries philosophers and scientists h
Let's start by asking: are markets really efficient? Let's consider a hypothetical situation involving two distant planets, Planet A and Planet B, which are engaged in interplanetary trade. They are separated by a vast d
A gentle exploration of existence, chance, and what physics can tell us . Why is there something rather than nothing? This is one of the deepest questions we can ask: not just what the universe is like, but why it exists
Physics and cosmology can be seen as a grand quest to uncover the hidden patterns that govern our universe. It's a journey to understand the symphony of existence, which ranges from the smallest particles to the grandest
