Are you familiar with Category Theory? I wonder if this toolkit might have a role to play in unifying these 3 fields under a general theory of modeling.

I don't understand all the implications of category theory. I suspect that it is mostly a metatheory of mathematics itself, not of search. (Mathematics is about formal languages that give rise to a set of interesting fractals, and category theory discovers the metafractal.)

I think they will do very well for modeling static scenes, or for very distant dependencies with a long reaction time (so a stable state can be found reliably), but will collapse for modeling temporal dependencies, because their assumptions about time are incorrect.
