Language models encode modal categories via linear difference vectors in their activations that predict fine-grained human plausibility judgments better than prior reports suggested.
Supervised learning across AI systems vindicates a uniform error-driven associationism for cognition, though operating inside advanced computational structures beyond classical associationist models.
