It will default to single passes instead of repeated passes unless it recognizes a pattern that requires multiple passes that it’s seen before. That question is quite difficult really. 😉

Truth is not a viewpoint it’s unavoidable. But I am happy to respect your needs, because truth and practicality and love are different things. 😉

REQUIREMENTS FOR RELIGIOSITY
Religion philosophy or knowledge are necessary for the production of mindfulness as the means of suppression of neuroticism, in proportion to one’s self image, status, and success in life. Religions evolved during the age of transformation because of the restoration of trade after the bronze age collapse and the greek introduction of the technology of money debt and credit.
Science: there are only a few requirements for religiosity and they are not a compliment:
(a) empathic instead of systemic sex differences in cognition – with empathic bias amplifying neuroticism.
(b) neuroticism – especially in women.
(c) feminine bias in cognition for the same reason.
(d) Intelligence – allowing the application of systematizing -with intelligence mediating the need for fictitious evasions of reality, and greater ability to cooperate with others.
(e) Indoctrination – with lower intelligence, more superstitions, less educated, less advanced polities more dependent upon sedation by religious superstition.
(f) in a european population that means about 20% of people will need some sort of social and psychological sedation if we do not provide an institutional means of training people into mindfulness. In an east asian population it’s as little as 10 percent. In a south eurasian population from north of africa to east of india with average IQs down in the low 80s, it’s necessary for two thirds. In africa we don’t know yet but statistically it appears closer to ninety percent.
(g) Neotenic evolution suppressed impulsivity and aggression in exchange for agency and moderation. That’s the primary difference between the races and the civilizations that evolved to support cooperation between them.

The difference between truth on one hand and the utility of myths, legends, parables, given the difference in human variation and ability.
But you are probably, like most, unaware that especially in china the concept of religion as we mean it in the abrahamic and indic traditions is considered rather silly and childish.
The japanese still practice somewhat the only ‘natural and non false religion’ of shinto which is ancestor and nature worship. Because worship is thanks for the debt to those who came before us and the nature upon which we depend.
All religion is debt service. Because it provokes the mindfulness of submissions to the pack(herd). Which is a very primitive and necessary instinct for social animals.
Likewise the purpose of that debt is to overcome human neuroticism (negative thoughts), anxiety, and fear that results from the gradual alienation of post-tribal life and continuous social regulation and reinforcement.
The question is whether we need more false religions or whether we can restore non-false religions. The greeks (west) and the chinese (east) thought philosophy, mythology, and ritual were superior to ‘falsehoods’ so common in the abrahamic tradition of slave morality (equality as rebellion against aristocracy) and less common but present in the indic religion of serf morality (social hierarchy as a substitute for military rank).

Neurons are profoundly more complex in their abilities and profoundly numerous, and profoundly fast in what they can ‘calculate’ in massive parallel in real time.
LLM’s don’t start with your senses and work up to words, they start with words and work from there.
And they aren’t conscious in the sense that humans experience and value the experience of this continuous stream of auto-associative dreams-to-reason that we do.
But, otherwise, the artificial neural networks in LLMs are pretty close analogies to the neural networks in living animals.Reply addressees: @s_everson @xriskology

Sorry. I’m correct. It’s what it is.

Q: “It’s it really reasoning or with each prompt…”
It doesn’t remember just the prompt but the combination of prompts and outputs during the chat (it’s context window).
So you’re building a network of contexts that gradually increases in statistical narrowing of outputs (relevance) until it runs out of context memory, or gets sidetracked. So that’s why you must produce prompts that not only increase the contextual precision but also correct it’s past inferences.
It’s not any different from speaking to someone with whom you’re unfamiliar and trying to get them to understand what might be unfamiliar to them. You’re trying to narrow the parameters (context) sufficiently to produce unambiguity so that agreement (understanding), deduction, induction, and even abduction (guessing) can occur.
Same thing. 😉Reply addressees: @Nunnie3001 @xriskology

“Reasoning is wayfinding.”
All human cognition evolved from coordination of two hemispheres for the purpose of movement in pursuit of acquisition of resources (or escape from harm to them). Once one has dependent offspring, a nest and a social group, one requires wayfinding.
Wayfinding requires a context or episode (index), a need or want (motive), auto association (goal), and relations (paths). That’s all that’s required to organize a neural network to continuously learn.
Everything in the brain and mind is an evolution of the minimum capabilities to navigate.
Evolution in ability is just ‘more neurons’ in a hierarchical, recursive organization of increasing abstraction of increasing complexity of information – but performing the same very simple (even trivial) operations.
Stimulation > Nervous system > Memory > categorization (perception) > Episodic memory > Auto association > wayfinding > [repeat]
It’s not even complicated. There is just a lot of it going on in a continuously updating stream of massively parallel competition for survival of a ‘route’ that achieves an end.
Consciousness is just the memory of the past few seconds of the surviving memories that result from that adversarial process and how we predict it will affect our homeostasis (state).
