BAMΞ Mathematical Phenomenology Sprint
October 25 – December 15, 2025
BAMΞ's first Sprint is devoted to Mathematical Phenomenology—a research programme in Consciousness Science that seeks to connect the formal tools of mathematics with the study of lived experience, as carried out, among other things, by the philosophical discipline of Phenomenology. Despite its importance, this area has received comparatively little attention over the past decades.
