Emerging term: [[entity-zhonghao-lu|Zhonghao Lu]]'s own 2026 proposal that physicality is a layered, partially-ordered hierarchy of restriction-indexed state sets rather than a single binary cut. First met in this vault via one preprint; watching for whether it recurs or gets taken up elsewhere before promoting to a full hub. See [[claim-lu-2026-proposes-theta-intermediatism-hierarchical-physicality]] for the sourced claim.
