Zilber's trichotomy principle relative to a theory

Let TT be a complete theory. Let N=(N,)\mathcal N=(N,\ldots) be any model of TT, and let PP be an N\mathcal N-interpretable set. Let P=(P,)\mathcal P=(P,\ldots) be an L\mathcal L'-structure over PP, for some language L\mathcal L', such that every P\mathcal P-definable set is also N\mathcal N-definable.

Zilber's trichotomy principle relative to TT. If P\mathcal P is strongly minimal and non-locally modular, then there is an infinite field interpretable in P\mathcal P.

This is a restricted formulation of Zilber's trichotomy principle. The unrestricted principle is false by Hrushovski's counterexample; the source also records that Castle proved the conjecture relative to ACF0ACF_0, while the general validity of this relative formulation is not established here.
