Numbers
Algebra
Geometry
Probability
Analysis
Dynamics
I loved this talk, but these concepts are like an attempt at dimensional reduction of math research, science, the academics knowledge.
I would have loved to have his thoughts on the mathematical mind, the process, how to reason, infer vs deduct, abstract, prove..
I don’t really know, what are the primitives, essential concepts of math reasoning?
Why do you feel this is a reduction? If anything, it is an attempt to summarize the various areas of math and how they relate to each other.

So… numbers, algebra, geometry, probability, analysis, dynamics are not the primitives or essentials ?
