Research directions in condensation: varieties of objectivity

Per LessWrong, mathematician Sam Eisenstat has outlined research directions for condensation theory—a mathematical framework for organizing descriptions of the world into conceptual components. The work builds on latent variable models and an objectivity theorem establishing when different descriptions of reality should converge. Eisenstat is calling for better concrete examples of how the theory applies, and clearer formulations of its abstractions. He's explicitly inviting researchers working on mathematical AI foundations to collaborate.
