Beyond Hooking Onto the World: Referential Profiles and the Numerical Structure of LLM Grounding
This academic paper argues that Large Language Models achieve a form of grounding through numerically structured referential profiles rather than human-like understanding. The author contends that LLM reference is derivative, context-sensitive, and mediated through mathematical optimization of linguistic patterns, supported by recent mechanistic interpretability research showing entity-like features and knowledge neurons.
