Just highlighting an overlap between the ideas expressed here and a stream that has recently been added to the MATS Summer 2024 Program.

This is not a direct extension of the work but something that shares some of intuitions and might help to formalise the ideas expressed in the post.

The grant proposal for the work is here. The proposal was submitted to Manifund (see here), where it was noticed by Ryan Kidd and subsequently added to the MATS program instead of receiving direct funding.

Do have a read and/or reach out if you're interested!
