I’d love to chat with you sometime about this. I have scheduled an appointment on Calendly (link provided for those who haven’t used it before)
Also: quick question: is there actually a connection between p-adic quasicoherent topology and matroid theory, or is that just for narrative? (I don’t know much about matroids)
I may be wrong, but based on the matroid reference I believe the inspiration for the example is a Quanta article about June Huh, who solved the Rota conjecture.
All the details in the parables section are strictly apocryphal, though there are only a small number of Quanta articles that this story is generalizing from.
From what I know of June Huh in particular he is working on exactly what he wants to be working on.

Looking forward to it! To be clear that isn’t a real branch of math (afaik).
I figured there was a decent probability of that being the case. I still anticipate it will be a good icebreaker
