   @koen_hufkens It's a pretty different paradigm (propagator model of computation), either one applied entirely separately or in conjunction. But it's interesting that I think the LLM view of things is so predominant that even perceiving of something radically different is difficult. But also, given our socioeconomic structure, does it matter? I don't know.

     @cwebber Since for some (if not most) of these there should be absolutes, I don't see it improving things. I would say that the current foundation of the models doesn't allow for any of this. For reference, I read the magic wand as improvements on the current paradigm, not a new one.
