The short recap:
If you build on chain-of-thought or steering vectors, this work provides a mechanistic account of when verbalized reasoning is load-bearing and when it is narration after the fact.
The representations a model can put into words behave like a shared global workspace, a bandwidth-limited channel that broadcasts a small set of features to the rest of the network and steers what it does next.
