This reply discusses a mechanistic question: if a specific pathway is blocked, will optimization pressure cause the ability to reform through other communication channels?
The author theorizes that if a shared workspace genuinely aids multi-step reasoning, blocking one entry point won't stop the capability from re-emerging via residual streams or other circuits. They even suggest: this could be written up as a paper.
