How LLMs might think

Mind &Language, EarlyView.
Do large language models (“LLMs”) think? Daniel Stoljar and Zhihe Vincent Zhang have recently developed an argument from rationality for the claim that LLMs do not think. We contend, however, that the argument from rationality not only falters, but leaves open an intriguing possibility: that LLMs engage only in arational, associative forms of thinking ...

Lost in Communication? Beyond the Aporia of Kenosis

Modern Theology, EarlyView.
Abstract Contemporary kenoticist Christologies reach an impasse when they conflate metaphorical and analogical predication. Interpreting divine “self‐emptying” in analogical terms—as divine self‐divestment—generates ethical concerns as well as philosophical, exegetical, and doctrinal difficulties.

Redeeming Relative Value: Indexicality and Consequentializing Agent‐Centered Norms

Noûs, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Robert Nozick doubted forms of consequentialism that employ so‐called “agent‐relative value” because he found them “gimmicky.” This doubt has been sharpened by Don Regan, Mark Schroeder, and others into the objection that agent‐relative value lacks the practical importance we associate with good simpliciter.

Evidentiary Interpretation, Discursive Injustice, and Rap on Trial

Philosophy &Public Affairs, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The submission of rap lyrics as inculpatory evidence (Rap on Trial) is an active prosecution tactic deployed in United States criminal trials. In this paper, I argue that interpretive ambiguity in rap lyrics is exploited in Rap on Trial cases, constituting a novel form of discursive injustice: extractive discursive injustice.

Large Language Models for Opaque Predicate Resolution: A Universal Control Flow Deobfuscation Framework

Proceedings of the ACM on Software Engineering
Code obfuscation is a process that complicates reverse engineering, protects intellectual property, and conceals malware. Existing deobfuscation approaches often lack generality or struggle with complex, mixed, or unknown transformations. To address this issue, this paper proposes LUCID, a Large Language Model (LLM) based Universal Control-flow ...

Language Games About Language Games: Wittgensteinian Hermeneutics Between Imaginative Participation and Analysis

Philosophical Investigations, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Drawing on Remarks on Frazer's Golden Bough and Philosophical Grammar, it is shown that, from a hermeneutic perspective, the Middle Wittgenstein, develops a fluid model of understanding which supposes a fixable meaning of any given text. In this context, to understand a text (intransitively) means to (imaginatively) play the language games ...

On the Limits of Intransitive Coordination

Ratio, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A growing number of authors suggest that concept coordination—the kind of relation we pick out when we say that the concepts of one or more individuals represent something as the same—is not a transitive relation. Here we consider global features of representational systems to break new ground in the assessment of the intransitivity view. From

Political Naturalisation: Conscripting Transit Citizens in the United Arab Emirates

Studies in Ethnicity and Nationalism, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Since its formation, the United Arab Emirates has sought to construct a cohesive sense of national identity among its citizens, centred on a system of material and legal privileges granted exclusively to Emirati nationals. A pillar of its nation‐building project was the strict exclusion of foreigners from citizenship and the upholding of a ...

Little Fish in Big Ponds: The Pathways to Inclusion for Micro‐Minorities in Power‐Sharing Societies

Swiss Political Science Review, EarlyView.
Abstract Emergent critique of consociations has focused on how micro‐minority ‘others’ are frequently excluded from the opportunities presented by power‐sharing systems, with dominant elites shutting them out. Therefore, a key question is: how do the political elites of micro‐minorities gain more meaningful inclusion by adopting or navigating the ...

Conniving With Continuations: Representing Goals in a Domain‐Specific Language of Thought

Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Wanting composes flexibly with knowing: we can want to know, want to know what someone wants, and so on. In this paper, we develop a goal representation that allows for this type of rich integration between goals and other theory‐of‐mind concepts.
