   1. What is the embedding space's dimensionality?
   2. Does our mechanism for multimodality work?
7. Consensus
   1. Do we need leaders for Mysticeti?
   2. What state needs to be synced and how do we implement it?
8. How normal people will use the network
   1. Obtaining the embeddings with requested dimensions (Matryoshka)
