DONE!! A few weeks late, as expected 🫠 This should hopefully be out on the arXiv soon and if it gets stuck in the waiting list, I am hosting it on my website either way. Please leave comments/questions if you're interested and have something to discuss!

Why is 'minimisation' rather than 'maximisation' more common in general optimisation problems? They're equivalent as far as I can tell, so what's the reason? My hunch is it's historic and maybe something to do w/ energy minimisation in Physics?
