This is interesting... I love the notation, but mainly because how upper and lower indices make it easy to distinguish vectors and forms (not that it matters in ML where everything is "euclidean").

Upper and lower indices are great, but are still unrelated to the convention of dropping the big sigma at the front.

Non-euclidean spaces are actually quite common in ML, but many people don’t realize the spaces they’re working in are non-euclidean!

Would be curious to hear what you have in mind here -- could you expand?
