Its maybe a matter of taste but I find his other work to be rather pretentious, although geb is entertaining and somewhat useful (I half liked le ton beau de marot).

I really think k there's something useful.in fluid concepts that maybe can help with low data learning. I think geoffrey Hinton hints at it in his lecture about trying to do pca on learned neural states to find manyfold correlations which in high dimensional states are stronger to be nonrandom.
