Thanks a lot for this compressed summary! As someone who tries to understand your work, but is sometimes lost within your sequence, this helps a lot.
I cannot comment the maths in any interesting way, but I feel that your restricted notion of abstraction—where the high-level summary capture what’s relevant to “far way” variables”—works very well with my intuition. I like that it works with “far away” in time too, for example in abstracting current events as memories for future use.
