OpenAI reports a joint Ashkin–Teller height-and-current limit

At every fixed point on the critical Ashkin–Teller line, including the four-state Potts endpoint, the height and both current-cluster collections converge jointly in bounded Jordan domains: the height to a Gaussian free field and the clusters to canonical recursive two-valued local sets of that field, including all nesting depths and the wired boundary cluster.

Understanding the problem

Read the background

At every fixed point on the critical Ashkin–Teller line, including the four-state Potts endpoint, the height and both current-cluster collections converge jointly in bounded Jordan domains: the height to a Gaussian free field and the clusters to canonical recursive two-valued local sets of that field, including all nesting depths and the wired boundary cluster.

Why it matters

If correct, proves the coupled field-and-cluster scaling limit across the critical Ashkin–Teller line.

What counts as progress

Do critical Ashkin–Teller heights and both current families have the predicted joint continuum limit?
