It would be nice, but I think this is a survey of an evolving field and there probably isn't any one pivotal paper. Plugging some key names (Marletto, Halpern)

It would be nice, but I think this is a survey of an evolving field and there probably isn't any one pivotal paper. Plugging some key names (Marletto, Halpern) and key terms (constructor theory, resource theory) from the article into Google Scholar, or visiting the linked researchers' websites, will probably get you what you're looking for.
