Yes. That’s in the original proposal -
The general idea is to start with the whitepapers and then, among other things, find out which whitepaper topics catalyze research interest. Those topics can be spun off as their own subcircles. This is already working to some extent - for example the proposal to have a subcircle about modeling the metacrisis. All metacrisis all the time is likely not everyone’s cup of tea, but as an ongoing research focus for selected participants, it makes a lot of sense.
