Nate Soares has introduced a new research direction called Gaussian Natural Latents, aiming to develop a rigorous theory of concepts and abstraction. This approach leverages Gaussian distributions as a simplified model to derive concrete theorems, drawing parallels to how physicists use "spherical cows" to model complex systems. The research has yielded initial results, including theorems on the existence and properties of exact and approximate natural latents within Gaussian systems, offering a potential pathway to understanding abstraction in more general cases.
