I recently took part in Michael Levin’s ongoing symposium on Platonic spaces in biology. The symposium contains excellent talks from Lauren Ross, Karl Friston, Chris Fields, Iain McGilchrist, and many others.

My lecture focused on how we can use formalized algebraic models to narrow the space of candidate neural mechanisms for language. It contains a large amount of material on experimental neurolinguistics, LLMs, philosophy of causation, evolutionary theory, and mathematical linguistics. It is also very long (over 2 hours 30 minutes).
