Dependend questions are questions that depend on the answer of other questions:
are x and y true? (x and y are dependencies)
if x is true, will y be true? (x is a dependency)
If the depend question is a market, and their dependencies are markets, then you have what I call a "dependend market".
These dependend markets could auto-resolve based on their dependencies. Having this could make manifold have more complex markets that save labour on resolution.
Note that not all dependend markets under this feature will auto-resolve. A conditional market for example of the form "assuming x, will y?" auto-resolves to N/A if x resolves to "no", but will not autoresolve if x resolves to "yes", since the creator still needs to assess whether y is true.
The "notify" option I put there, is a softer form of this. Dependend markets don't get auto-resolved, but anyone watching it is reminded that this market could/should resolve now.
This question resolves N/A after a week, I didn't make it a poll so you can express the magnitude of your opinion (and wallet)

3.00I want to use markets to predict parts of the alignment problem.
Some of those would go "if scaling halts, will research approach x work?"
And then build on top of that "If scaling halts and x works, will we get to a unipolar world?"
I'm not doing this atm since I don't want to have to manually keep track of all these interlinked markets when things start resolving. At least a ping would help
(yes, I can subscribe to the other markets, but I might forget why I was subscribed and then neglect to operate on the ping)
