  Interesting article. Mathematical foundations are needed that are much more suitable to modern Computer Science than using "universes". For an example see the following article: https://papers.ssrn.com/abstract=3603021 https://papers.ssrn.com/abstract=3603021 Also, see the following video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AJP1VL7shiI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AJP1VL7shiI
