You don't have to imagine, there is a logically rigorous argument¹ that establishes the equivalence. There is also nothing unusual about neural networks or Markov chains. You've just been mystified by the marketing around them so

If there are no logical errors then you're just waving your hands which, again, you're welcome to do but it doesn't address any of the points I've made in this thread.

I prefer logic to hype. If you have a reason to think the hype nullifies basic logical analysis then you're welcome to your opinion but I'm going to stick w/ logic b/c so far no one has presented an actual counter-argume

Where is the logical mistake in the linked argument? If there is a mistake then I'd like to know what it is & the counter-example that invalidates the logical argument.

It's definitely something but it might not be apparent to those who do not understand the distinctions between intensionallity & extensionallity.

Choice-free feedforward graphs are LLMs. The inputs/outputs are extensionally equivalent to context and transition probabilities of a Markov chain. What exactly is your argument b/c what it looks like to me is you're simply m

My point is that your initial argument was missing several key pieces & if you specify the entire state space you will see that it's not as simple as you thought initially. I'm not saying it can't be done but that it'

That still won't work b/c there is no backtracking. The point is that there is no way to encode backtracking/choice points like in Prolog w/ a Markov chain. The argument you have presented is not extensionally equivalent

There are multiple solutions for each incomplete grid so how are you calculating the transitions for a grid w/ a non-unique solution? Edit: I see you added questions for the ambiguities but modulo those choices your solution will almos

If you think it is possible then I'd like to see an implementation of a sudoku puzzle solver as Markov chain. This is a simple enough problem that can be implemented in a few dozen lines of Prolog but I've never seen a solver impl

I don't expect a Markov chain to be capable of backtracking. That's the point I am making. Logical reasoning as it is implemented in Prolog interpreters is not something that can be done w/ LLMs regardless of the size of thei

What part about backtracking is baseless? Typical Prolog interpreters can be implemented in a few MBs of binary code (the high level specification is even simpler & can be in a few hundred KB)¹ but none of the LLMs (open source or not)

There is a formal extensional equivalence between Markov chains & LLMs but the only person who seems to be saying anything about this is Gary Marcus. He is constantly making the point that symbolic understanding can not be reduced to a
