Heuristic Arguments for Neural Nets

Heuristic arguments is intended to be this sort of umbrella term for machine checkable proof like thing that can apply to arbitrary computational objects. So there's this approach. There's also some people working on various like causal abstractions. I'm tempted to say something like, if the causal abstraction stuff works out, we'll just call that a heuristic argument and go with that sort of thing. Yeah, so maybe in summary, we're trying to be like in some sense, maximally ambitious with respect to the existence of heuristic arguments.
