The writer talks about a theory in some paragraphs. The first sentence of the next paragraph is "Or so the proposal says."
What does it mean exactly?

Why not quote both paragraphs, in their entirety? Either way, even it was acceptable to start the next sentence with "Or (anything)" a sentence is defined grammatically, which doesn't matter here. A paragraph is broadly defined as a group of sentences dealing with the same subject… which is to say a fresh paragraph necessarily introduces a new subject. The exception is when a fresh paragraph introduces a new speaker on the same subject, which your wording would seem hard put to justify. Beneath that, how would "The proposal says" by itself differ, to you?

Then why not add that to the beginning , then take the new Question somewhere like English Language Learners?

I mean you would get more useful help somewhere dealing with Questions like that, in contexts like that, such as English Language Learners. Why not try ?
