Yes, it turns out that matrix math over a feature space of math works pretty well because unlike poetry or real world work, maths are internally coherent and entirely theoretical.

Funny how you said "it turns out" when the whole point is that we don't understand LLMs - we just empirically see what they are good at.

Claiming that you understand LLMs is similar to saying that you understand how our biology work because you understand evolution. No - you understand the mechanism behind evolution, but not the complexity it produces.

This not understanding "understanding".

> maths are internally coherent and entirely theoretical

Nope. This kind of wish-washy thinking is not what we mean by understanding.
