Research question
Which relations define local influence, and which describe correlations between records?
SMM/DTT direction
Generative adjacency, physical spatial distance, and shared information need not be the same relation. A successful model must state how they are connected and which operations can convey an observable signal.
What the construction must establish
Construct the local operations and observation rule. Distinguish correlations from signalling and demonstrate the locality or correlation claim in the stated model.
