When I was in high school (circa 1960), I chose math as a college major for similar reasons, and then later math logic, ditto: I found that psychology was applied bio; bio, applied chem; chem, applied physics; physics, applied math. But then I later thought: But math is applied philosophy; philosophy, applied psychology. Hence the whole thing is a circle. I put that in a book chapter in 1987, “Complementarity as a Christian philosophy of Mathematics,” in
Heie and Wolfe.

If I were to modify that now, I’d insert “Physics is applied information science” between physics and math.

Enjoyed the video of your talk at Google!
