(ii) Assuming the initial object $(L,E,b)$ is semistable or stable in the sense of Conjectures 3.2 and 3.5 means in part (e) that the limit $\lim_{t\rightarrow\infty}L^{t}=L_{1}$ is only one (singular) special Lagrangian, rather than a finite union $L_{1}\cup\cdots\cup L_{n}$ of special Lagrangians with different phases, but otherwise it does not simplify things: we still expect nontrivial finite time singularities, and surgeries.

(iii) It is an interesting question whether there are useful extra assumptions on $L$ which limit the kinds of singularities occurring at the singular times $T_{1},T_{2},\ldots.$ For example, if $L$ is generic in its Hamiltonian isotopy class then only singularities of ‘index zero’ appear, as in Remark 3.8(iii), and if $L$ is almost calibrated, then as in §3.7 ‘collapsing zero objects’ cannot happen. Thomas and Yau give conditions [70, (7.1) or (7.2)] preventing ‘neck pinches’ in §3.5 dividing $L$ into two pieces $L_{1}\amalg L_{2}$ from happening, although I expect other singularities can.
