Hasn’t this been tried already?

You might be thinking of the Langlands program

  • The Langlands program is about correspondences between analytic number theory and harmonic analysis. You could think about it as a unification of parts of mathematics that seem to have no reason to join up but turn out to have deep and non-obvious connections. It doesn't have anything to do with formalization.

    Here's a really good and accessible intro to Langlands https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4dyytPboqvE

  • You give me too much credit. I was just being tongue-in-cheek about Principia Mathematica.
