LLMs perform in-context learning as trajectories through a structured low-dimensional conceptual belief space, with the structure visible in both behavior and internal representations and causally manipulable via interventions.
LLMs generally fail to maintain stable worldviews under adversarial conversational pressure, indicating they lack core beliefs akin to those in human cognition.
