Personally I think the Mandelbrot set is interesting from the view of computability, see
https://www.fernuni-hagen.de/imperia/md/content/fakultaetfuermathematikundinformatik/forschung/berichte/bericht_298.pdfType-2 and BSS machines aren’t exactly realizable as far as we know, but there are several plausible weakenings that preserve some additional power compared to the Turing model.
>>11822835This is just plain untrue. Hardy thought number theory would be completely useless until crypto happened. Ring theory and group theory are routinely used everywhere in science and CS, functional analysis to quantum information, and topology has strong connections to data analysis and to asynchronous computability.
>well what about X esoteric field It’s likely new enough that it’s still being studied in its pure form. Saying “waaah most math will always be useless” sounds like serious cope to try and divide the world into useful and useless people by subject alone.
