Why this is here
A19 of the exchange cited it in answer to the owner’s self-hedged idea at U19 (“are we perhaps moving towards a gauge theoretic account of something here?”). It is the nearest published gauge-theoretic treatment of a self-organising system. Bears on QUESTION-130 (whether evaluative transport between contexts admits a natural connection with nontrivial holonomy). A reading should check where its connection comes from, the question A19 itself raised (“Where does the connection come from?”), and whether its gauge freedom is more than the representational kind CLAIM-148 holds.
