Here, we propose such a definition, which we call representational compositionality, that accounts for and extends our intuitions about compositionality.

While the No Free Lunch Theorem states that we cannot obtain theoretical guarantees for generalization without further assumptions, in practice we observe that simple models which explain the training data generalize best: a principle called Occam's razor.

Our study highlights the intrinsic limitations of Transformers in achieving structured ICL solutions that generalize, and shows that while inferring the right latents aids interpretability, it is not sufficient to alleviate this problem.

Conscious states (states that there is something it is like to be in) seem both rich or full of detail, and ineffable or hard to fully describe or recall.

Biological sensory systems appear to rely on canonical nonlinear computations that can be readily adapted to a broad range of representational objectives.
