Oh I agree, I was trying to figure out why CoT would be assumed superior to neuralese and one position could be something about “the human prior makes it easier to reason in cot than latent space”. I’ll admit I’m reaching here though, I’d like to understand the steelman for why CoT would be superior to reasoning in latent space.
Note that an illegible CoT (Thinkish) is different from reasoning in latent space (Neuralese).
