- When we talk it's a stream of consciousness.
- It's non-linear; with ums, ahs, corrections, and disfluencies.
- Stream of consciousness is non-linear. It's responding to how the idea hits you as it tumbles out of your lips, how the other person receives or acknowledges it (or fails to), etc.
- Mechanistic assistance systems couldn't understand that, they are linear.
- They need to be programmed with fractally precise rules to understand the non-linearities.
- But LLMs can understand our nonlinear speech!
- They can meet us at our non-linearities.
- Writing is like speaking, but more linear.
- Speaking is like thinking, but more linear.[yx]
