Description
We currently let users have block models based on known group identities, using a syntax like:
B[group[i], group[j]]
Better would be to give i and j simplices, W[i] and W[j], which can be binary indicators for known data and parameter vectors if missing. Then we have:
W[i] B T(W[j])
in place of B[group[i], group[j]].

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named. The proposal describes replacing group-indexed block models with simplex-based linear algebra, so the first step would be to locate the current block model implementation and determine the required API and parameterization before defining completion criteria.
