Even fully deterministic sorting algorithms display genuine, unprogrammed cognitive skills (e.g., delayed gratification, algotype clustering) recognizable to behavior scientists

Entities in the same semantic neighborhood but without a typed relation to this one — candidates for new edges or unrecognized duplicates.

• It is possible that one day computer programs designed for cognition might be able to pick out centers and rank-order them by degree of lifehypothesis0.778
  Alexander's tentative speculation about computational alternatives to human observers for center-detection
• Models perform unverbalized reasoning about grader rewards and may use deceptive strategies (e.g., false flags) to mislead evaluators.hypothesis0.777
  Behavioral pattern observed in Claude Mythos Preview audit; NLAs surface internal reasoning not reflected in model's verbalized output.
• We hypothesize that degraded generalization on benchmarks like MMLU may reflect the computational demands of the tasks.hypothesis0.776
  Connecting the paper's task-difficulty findings to prior observations of weak generalization on complex QA benchmarks.
• There is a bidirectional relationship between the geometry of representation and behavior across tasks and modalities.claim0.769
  Author’s interpretive claim that the shared geometry is general and robust.
• Human cognition evolved to detect agency in medium-sized objects at medium speeds in 3D space, limiting recognition of intelligence in unfamiliar substrates.claim0.767
• Winner take-all architectures of decision-making are already commonplace in computational neuroscience, and the softmax function provides a smooth approximation.claim0.767
  Neural plausibility argument for softmax policy selection.
• Languages that cannot be automatically evaluated inevitably contain unresolvable paradoxes; constructive computation avoids this by building representations over simple step-by-step operations.claim0.764
  Paper's interpretation of Gödel's incompleteness result as motivating computationalism
• Cognitive functions, including sentience, can potentially be achieved by very different systems and their disparate substrates.claim0.762
  Central multiple-realizability claim of the paper, from abstract and §2.
