J-space: LLM's 'Recursive' Coordinates with Cross-Layer Consistency
Jack_W_Lindsey · x · 2026-07-07
Anthropic researcher Jack Lindsey detailed the core of his paper in a reply: 'J-space' consists of a set of vectors that persist across different contexts (not context-dependent); although LLMs lack true recursion, they can finitely simulate recursion in a single forward pass, and J-space provides a cross-layer consistent coordinate system, allowing network 'depth' to be viewed as a temporal coordinate. He also mentioned the discussion in Section 9.3 of the paper regarding the similarities and differences between 'global recurrent broadcast' and human cases. This is a high-quality technical interpretation in interpretability/consciousness research.
