Formalizing Latent Thoughts: Four Axioms of Thought Representation in LLMs
Four axioms (Causality, Minimality, Separability, Stability) are formalized for latent thought representations; audits of open LLMs on 23 tasks show none satisfy all four and representations add little beyond input embeddings.
