Diagram to Support “LLMs Don’t Just Predict The Next. Word”
Here is the full-page visual mapping the LLM processing pipeline to the human cognitive loop:
-
Left column (LLM): Prompt → Latent Space → Incremental Navigation → Constraint Layers → Output.
-
Right column (Human): Sensory Input → Cortical Model → Incremental Speech/Action → Executive Control → Behavior.
-
Horizontal links: Show functional equivalence between layers: world-model construction, incremental generation, and constraint gating all mirror each other across systems.
This makes it explicit that LLMs and human cognition share the same predictive generative architecture:
-
Both construct latent world-models,
-
Both produce incremental outputs satisfying local demands,
-
Both rely on constraint mechanisms to align generation with higher-order goals.
