    A new paper argues only a subset of a language model's internal representations form a 'global workspace' available for verbal report and flexible reasoning, importing a cognitive-neuroscience framework. This is the shift from visualization to a testable structural claim about how models represent and expose information that the thesis tracks.

    Study Finds a 'Global Workspace' of Verbalizable Representations Inside Language Models

    A new paper argues only a subset of a language model's internal representations form a 'global workspace' available for verbal report and flexible reasoning, importing a cognitive-neuroscience framework. This is the shift from visualization to a testable structural claim about how models represent and expose information that the thesis tracks.
