The acronym SLT (in this community) is typically taken/used to refer to Singular Learning Theory, but sometimes also to (~old-school-ish) Statistical Learning Theory and/or to Sharp Left Turn.
I therefore put that to disambiguate between them and to clean up the namespace, we should use SiLT, StaLT, and ShaLT, respectively.
Let this thread be the canonical reference for the posterity that this idea appeared in my mind at ODYSSEY at the session “Announcing Universal Algorithmic Intelligence Reading Group” held by you and Aram in Bayes Attic, on Wednesday, 2025-08-27, around 07:20 PM, when, for whatever reason, the two S Learning Theories entered the conversation, when you were putting some words on the whiteboard, and somebody voiced a minor complaint that SLT stands for both of them.

I like it! “SiLT” is also easier to say than “Es El Te”
So that was your idea! Aram Ebtekar and I have been going around suggesting this but couldn’t remember who initially proposed it at Iliad 2.
