Statement

A variation of condensation in which notebooks may contain instructions for retrieving other notebooks has a correspondence theorem.

Source

The maintainer's LessWrong posts Condensation (2025-11-09, https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/BstHXPgQyfeNnLjjp/condensation) and Condensation & Relevance (2026-01-23, https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/2x9yatKKTRMabQAWq/condensation-and-relevance).

Notes

The variation in which notebooks may call each other extends the posts' setting; its identification with the storage-retrieval trade-off's recursive retrieval is an AI reading.
