To systematically answer the generalized Kretschmann objection, we propose a mean to make operational a criterion widely recognized as allowing to decide if the gauge symmetry of a theory is artificial or substantial. Our proposition is based on the dressing field method of gauge symmetry reduction, a new simple tool from mathematical physics. This general scheme allows in particular to straightforwardly argue that the notion of spontaneous symmetry breaking is superfluous to the empirical success of the electroweak theory. Important questions regarding the context of justification of the theory then arise.

General Relativity, Mental Causation, and Energy Conservation
General Relativity, through the generalized Bianchi identities, forces the simplest scalar form of Cartesian mental influence to be constant and therefore zero, so it resists rather than enables mental causation.

Toward Manifest Relationality in Transformers via Symmetry Reduction
Transformer attention and parameter optimization can be rewritten on symmetry-reduced relational variables (Gram matrices and invariant parameter composites), removing coordinate redundancies by construction.
