The Emergent Symbolic Structure of Artificial Neural Networks

The math and core experimentation here is beyond my abilities, but what I think I understand is that there are possible deeper patterns of representation that exist in LLMs that are distillations of core conceptual relations in grammar that we can get our heads around in a mathematical sense rather than apparent layer-smeared noise that somehow, un-interpretably (in a meaningful sense), resolve to correct grammar/inferences. That's pretty cool. I hope I've got that kinda-right.

It's like Neo says "You get used to it, though. Your brain does the translating. I don't even see the code." He was referring to something like a K, Q, V vector at the time I believe.

Sounds reasonable... That the model is sometimes learning a lossy vector representation of something symbolic in nature... Sure, a NN can approximate a function? They say this holds in... Some examples they found? I don't enough about this area
