Capturing the Laws of (Data) Nature

Summary: Treat user-fitted statistical models as first-class DB artifacts to capture domain “laws” and data semantics beyond schemas. Use those models to drive physical storage layout and high-accuracy approximate query answering, demonstrated on an astronomy use case. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
