Er, actually, I'll save that for later, since I'm re-projecting my dissertation to a new medium which will do a better job anyway. Informally...
Oh I'm still unclear on it all, too. I wanted to decompose it much more rigorously, but the data don't really exist! I believe (intuitively and from extant work) that the social identities are what we're mostly evaluating, and the rest of the graph was a happy accident.

So to use an extremely bad metaphor; people look at us successfully equating function outputs and, from the fact that the same value was generated this one time, assume the actual functions work the same way?

Sorry this thread got a bit sprawling so I'm kinda mentally spread over the whole thing. If I'm reading your analogy correctly, I'd say people use the output (expression) to update their beliefs while also doing backprop it over (stochastic samples) of identities.

I'll share a reprojection of my dissertation soon on a cool medium. But, until then, please see

Oh and also Database Animals (recommended to me by
@Aelkus and@Brett_Fujioka), because I think the "database" in that model *is* (generally) identity.https://www.amazon.com/Otaku-Database-Animals-Hiroki-Azuma/dp/0816653526 …
