[Vgoose]

Thanks for sharing, I've never heard of variety before and that was an interesting read. It makes me think of a broader term I've been using to describe the run time state of the system: Entropy. I've given up on measuring that for now and I'm settling for a compile time proxy through measuring the _semantic_ cardinality of types as this seems a bit more approachable for a POC.

One drawback I ran into was that the variety/entropy of scalars tends to dominate everything else. I'm clamping them to 1 for now but that's also not great as it punishes more descriptive systems.
