Replying because its too late to edit
EDIT: I'm struggling to find the source connecting lenses to dynamical systems. I might have misremembered, and was pretty tired, so take that with a grain of salt.
That's a lot to take in, let me get back to you a bit later.
Extremely interesting, I must say at first glance. You're definitely technically stronger than me in most of these topics, I'll have to work on it a bit to clarify some of these concepts.
Thanks for an insightful and candid thinking out loud. Much appreciated. I wish other people would chime in as well to further the discussion, I'm afraid I won't be able to elaborate much technically but rather speak high-level UX concepts. What's interesting is that your general approach seems to answer an essential problem (and opportunity!) in systems whose complexity far exceeds human cognition (that's what I get from the 'lens', not what's on Google about it but the object in your head you call as such; it is sometimes hard to explain such things in a word, rather takes a book chapter).
