My paper with @ericelmoznino.bsky.social on AI consciousness and the danger of people seeing it (whether or not it is there) is out in @science.org.

Yup. But those approaches define composition from the outside, with respect to *given* some parts and rules. For instance, is this sentence compositional w.r.t. the rules and vocab of English. What I’m proposing defines compositionality intrinsically within some data, which has advantages.

Very excited to release a new blog post that formalizes what it means for data to be compositional, and shows how compositionality can exist at multiple scales. Early days, but I think there may be significant implications for AI. Check it out! ericelmoznino.github.io/blog/2025/08...
