Summary. In this paper we connect degenerations of Fano threefolds by projections. Using Mirror Symmetry we transfer these connections to the side of Landau-Ginzburg models. Based on that we suggest a generalization of Kawamata's categorical approach to birational geometry enhancing it via geometry of moduli spaces of Landau-Ginzburg models. We suggest a conjectural application to Hasset-Kuznetsov-Tschinkel program based on new nonrationality "invariants" we consider -gaps and phantom categories. We make several conjectures for these invariants in the case of surfaces of general type and quadric bundles.
