Re-examination of two LLM introspection paradigms with new controls shows models lack privileged access to internal states, performing equivalently with input-only classifiers or near chance on relabeled tasks.
Agents in a minimal multi-agent RL setup develop self-referential communication and an echo-mismatch detection circuit that emerges from environmental affordances rather than task structure or architecture.
