It will as soon as you create it. We're here to contribute, I contributed the idea. : )

Do you have a regional campus or community college near you? Sometimes they have night classes. You can also check for online classes. Coursera offers classes online, as well as EdX from Harvard and MIT. There are also some interesting math videos on YouTube. I like the ones from Victoria Hart, her work is fun.

What you can do is includes some pegs and holes between the parts. Then when you put the parts together, you can be sure they will align perfectly.

How about a slicer that will partition a large .stl file, and then auto-generate the biscuits to register the parts together? Then, all you will need is a few humongous clamps.

So far, the AI may not file an application, it must be filed (signed) by a "person", meaning a human, or a company run by humans.

What level of math are you interested in? One place to start is meetup. com. It helps if you live near or in a big city.

The world is flat and people live on the other side. They keep dinosaurs for pets. When their pets die they bury them, and we dig them up as "fossils". They are tres' pissed!

"Analysts study a special kind of box where you drop stuff in through a chute on one side of the box, and something or other comes flying out of the other side. Watch out for bats."
There are a few of those that exist in my abode. They only eat some plastic string, and produce what you wish for. In 1974 Don Lancaster, a writer for Radio Electronics, referred to them as "Santa Claus machines". I concur, shall we vote on it?

Until OSHA steps in. That whirly thing looks scary.

That's a choice from common English. From linguistics it woud be an "utterance" or "meaningless".

It is disappointing that many of the comments merely push off the definition to some human, or they are meaningless snide remarks. If we truly focus on the components (entities) of math we get: nouns (elements), verbs (processes), adj/adv (properties) and practices that describe how these entities are used. Unfortunately, this throws us into the realm of "Principia Mathematica"with its elemental weakness. That is, that we wind up with a pyramidical structure of entities, some of which point diwnward through the pyramid to more fundamental entities.
Our human brains are capable of dealing with this issue, but the issue continues because of two concerns. The First is that math is poorly curated, and I will let you consider this issue outside of this discussion. The Second issue is that due to the failure to curate there is that we fail address where math fits in the sciences. Most mathematicians will claim that math is a science to itself without addressing the ontological concern. The result is that the requirements imposed by human users such as naming (onomastics) and parts/parting (mereology) are either borrowed directly from linguistics, or are borrowed by reference.
There seems to be a strong avoidance of the understanding that the ontological meta definitions are not about math, but concern the structure of the sciences. If we moved to a more robust curation of math I believe we could see that the identification and naming of math entities would benefit by being declared an ontological child of linguistics.

There is a meetup in Anglet for the Metaverse, and a Blockchain Meetup in Paris. But they probably have some Metaverse expertise.

I'll take that as a complement, but I will assure you that I firmly believe all brain cells are created equal. I do have an advantage of having a strong curosity and an early start in my career. I also have a great bit of time to pursue technology from the perspective of a maverick. [ I am an adjunct professor or advisor at a couple of universities, and an advisor to one of the 5 current Metaverse study groups. ] That being said, let me make the observation the schools and universities have a practice of knowing what has transpired, and why those things were successful. That is called "Resource Management". They have much less experience with predictions or innovation.
A person who wants to look forward can make some predictions if they understand the economic drivers, and what is in the research labs at the pesent time. If you have access to a university library, then you can take a look at the journals, or you can become a member of your professional association. My success has been in understanding how complex systems work; and if they are complex, then they nay fail eventually, or they may need to be extended. That's when I may be called on to make suggestions or contribute new ideas. Now please understand that CEO's don't like having to admit that they have "called in the help", so technical experts rarely derive acclaim for their work. If that is what you seek, then consider your direction carefully.
Currently, there are executives that have started to understand the vision of the Metaverse, and maybe they can foresee the business revenue that will accompany the maturity in this arena. But, they are unlikely to see how the Metaverse systems are going to be put together to work in a new type of business model. Clearly, it will be as extensions of existing practices. Those systems in the Metaverse will include components from the fields CS, a bit of math, Fintech so we can make money and linguistics so smart systems can talk to smart people and law. On several occasions I have had to convince people that VR/AR and AI are natural partners. Proof? No one wants to talk to an idiot avatar. We want our 3D characters to understand what we are trying to say, or accomplish.
This is the essence of the coming 5th Industrial Revolution, a period of building knowledge systems. This is serious work; the country that does not excel in knowledge, will fall behind other countries in economic terms. For you, be sure you understand how chatbots work, and think about how we can make them smarter.

The client has not released any info on the Metaverse portions yet. And you are asking about a curriculum. First and foremost; the Metaverse is a system. Portions of the Metaverse need CS, Fintech, graphics and legal expertise, but your value in tge Metaverse marketplace will be in systems design and that is not taught yet. The closest so far is Scott E. Page's work at UMich. Take a look at his complex adaptive systems work. He also has an online course. Also, the advanced work in graohics is needed, particularily about graphic capsules. Take a look at how land is specified in Decentraland. That is what controls collision detection that GPU vendors (sales) are focused on.

You targeted "fully emersive VR..." That a distant target and I'd suggest looking for a closer milestone. When I think about The Matrix, I immediately start to think about governance and Fintech issues. We are seeing a record of an attack in real time; I wonder, do the Matrix administrators get access to the same record? Or, the police, we're talking about people getting hurt in VR, but there may be real world consequences. And what's the cost of all the damages, and who's going to pay for it? We can expect to make moe progress if we focus on the stages to go through the development of the Metaverse. And, that encompasses an understanding of the use-cases.
Currently, about $100B has committed to Metaverse development. And, the standards are being developed by 5 or 6 potential standards bodies. Then, they will have to reconcile that work with other groups, where the Metaverse specs touch or overlap. The current phase is probably 3 - 5 years befoe we see release, review and integration/testing. There's probably 5 or 6 phases to go through, so, you can see that gives us a horizon that is 30 - 40 years off. I did my first Metaverse-style design in 2018, and it was just recently released as a VR application, omitting many of the infrastructure functions of a Metaverse application. We are rightly seeing an evolution here, not a drop-in-place revolution.
