with the right quality.
But that's not the same thing as having saying that the language contains the reference inherently within it.
It simply means that these are communicative systems, that they can that they can exchange information, uh, that they are that they integrate with one another uh in or and form in terms of forming coherent behavior.
But
Language is its own beast.
It's its own autonomous system.
It can run on its own.
That was the big realization.
Large language models prove it.
That language is able to produce the next token and by virtue of the next token, the next sequence, and that means all of language, without having any concept of reference.
The reference has no place there.
Uh there's no way to to kind of squeeze it in.
If if your computational account
is the one that I'm proposing.
If the computational count is uh essentially prediction based on a next token based purely on the topology, the structure, the statistical structure of language, then there's no way to cram any other kind of grounding or or compu any or sort of computational feature in there at all.
It has to be something closer to
the w the in the large language models prompting.
You can imagine a camera that uh generates a linguistic description of what's what's in a room.
And then you could ask uh your your your language model, and you can, by the way, you can do this right now.
Uh they're able to do vision.
