Another excellent essay, well written and inspiring. One phrase caught my interest: "to understand the mathematics of evolution". I know you have a very strong background in mathematics, and would love to hear more about the mathematics of evolution as you see them.

My background is in complex adaptive systems, and I can't see how the mathematics of evolution can build a complex adaptive system. To me, the Mathematical Challenge to the Neo-Darwinian Interpretation of Evolution has never been met.

This is beautiful! I became a clinician (a chiropractor), but I always retained an almost mystical infatuation with the stories and poetry of life itself, its mechanisms and its outrageously beautiful transformations. You expressed it perfectly!
