Introduction

This post was either an anonymous submission of an interesting paper or was written by a student; full credit remains with the author (linked).

A personal, almost meditative essay connecting the author's lifelong fascination with certain ideas — from Zhuangzi's butterfly dream to the vastness of Voyager 1 — to months spent exploring the non-linguistic interior of a language model's internal representations. It frames interpretability less as a technical subfield and more as a new way of perceiving what these systems actually are.
