Yeah, why not post your progress and any new things discovered (even if it's a known thing, already, as some folks have not encountered that idea).
Is there some kind of 'half-principal' or undeveloped / incomplete theory involved, that's going to be a good thing, for readers. In other words, as you develop your ideas there might be suggested some partial effect, you can't fully describe: That's OK; just mention you saw such and such, with some pattern you noticed, keeping readers informed what you have, so far.
Readers like the drama, your story doesn't have to be perfect / 100% completed.
