Hi Bill, Interesting article. I had similar thought process of comparing LLM to holographic images, based on similarities between Fast Fourier Transform digital algorithm, FFT and some optical systems doing the same in optical domain. I wonder if there is any formal value (or possible applications) in comparing the two domains except just aesthetical. - Greg gdabrowski@autograf.pl
I strongly suspect there is, but don't have to tools for it myself. Have you seen my post, Toward a Theory of Intelligence: Did Miriam Yevick know something in 1975 that Bengio, LeCun, and Hinton did not know in 2018?
Also, check out the quotation from Francois Chollett near the end of this: The role of philosophical thinking in understanding large language models: Calibrating and closing the gap between first-person experience and underlying mechanisms.
