The Efficiency Attenuation Phenomenon: A Computational Challenge to the Language of Thought Hypothesis
📖 Full Retelling
arXiv:2603.22312v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: This paper computationally investigates whether thought requires a language-like format, as posited by the Language of Thought (LoT) hypothesis. We introduce the ``AI Private Language'' thought experiment: if two artificial agents develop an efficient, inscrutable communication protocol via multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL), and their performance declines when forced to use a human-comprehensible language, this Efficiency Attenuation Pheno
