The original link looks like a scratchpad&#x2F;notes page to me.<p>For insight into John Baez&#x27;s ideas around this time, try the slides from this colloquium: <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;math.ucr.edu&#x2F;home&#x2F;baez&#x2F;quantum_spacetime&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;math.ucr.edu&#x2F;home&#x2F;baez&#x2F;quantum_spacetime&#x2F;</a><p>(<a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;math.ucr.edu&#x2F;home&#x2F;baez&#x2F;quantum_spacetime&#x2F;qs.pdf" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;math.ucr.edu&#x2F;home&#x2F;baez&#x2F;quantum_spacetime&#x2F;qs.pdf</a>)<p>Urs Schreiber currently is at the forefront of where this line of mathematics ties in with fundamental physics. Here is a series he has started recently:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.physicsforums.com&#x2F;insights&#x2F;20-years-ago-today-m-theory-conjecture&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.physicsforums.com&#x2F;insights&#x2F;20-years-ago-today-m-...</a><p>Baez&#x27;s higher dimensional algebra program formed a large part of the heritage to these ideas.

These are particularly terse lecture&#x2F;review notes. Is there an expanded version?
