I am super curious about how you conceptualize the relationship between the theorist’s theory space problem and the experimentalist’s high dimensional world in this case. For example:
Liberally abusing the language of your abstraction posts, is the theory like a map of different info summaries to each other, and the experimentalist produces the info summaries to be mapped, or the theorist points to a blank spot in their map where a summary could fit?
Or is that too well defined, and it is something more like the theorist only has a list of existing summaries, and uses these to try and give the experimentalist a general direction (through dimensionality)?
Or could it be something more like the experimenter has a pile of summaries because their job is moving through the markov blanket, and the theorist has the summarization rules?
Note that I haven’t really absorbed the abstractions stuff yet, so if you’ve covered it elsewhere please link; and if you haven’t wrangled the theory-space-vs-HD-world issue yet I’d still be happy if the answer was just some babbling.
