Study: multistep abstraction may underlie LLM relational representations, mirroring cognitive maps

A new paper proposes that multistep abstraction may be a core property of how LLMs represent relational information, closely paralleling accounts of human cognitive maps used for navigating the social world — new evidence for the analogy between LLM internal representations and human cognition.
