Language seems to be confused with logic or common sense.

We've observed it previously in psychiatry(and modern journalism, but here I digress) but LLMs have made it obvious that grammatically correct, naturally flowing language requires a "world" model of the language and close to nothing of reality, spatial understanding? social clues? common sense logic? or mathematical logic? All optional.

I'd suggest we call the LLM language fundament a "Word Model"(not a typo).

Trying to distil a world model out of the word model. A suitable starting point for a modern remake of Plato's cave.
