Statement
Petersen's theory of abstraction, Wentworth's natural abstraction and natural latents, and Eisenstat's condensation are related precisely: Petersen's theory to Wentworth's, natural latents to condensation, and Petersen's theory to condensation, each relation stated as a reduction or a complementarity.

Notes
A mid-level plan of Stage 4, filed as an and because its Statement names the three relations as its parts; the choice of the three theories is the filing session's. Steve Petersen (abstraction) is not Sami Petersen, whose 2023 note on incomplete preferences is in the corrigibility references.
