Could an important step towards #AGI be to link words in a language model to concrete, pictorial descriptions of the words for concrete words, then abstract words would in turn be based on foundation of concrete words? Abstracta/Quality and Concreta/Quantity are interdependent, interconnected and interrelated, as everything else in the world. There is no principal difference between concrete entities and abstract entities, as (1) existence inside or outside space-time, (2) having causes and effects or not, (3) having contingent or necessary existence, (4) being particular or universal, (5) belonging to either the physical or the mental realm. The issue is how these two world are related and interconnected. Some believe in emergency: "Emergence is when quantitative changes in a system result in qualitative changes in behavior". Specifically, we define emergent abilities of large language models as abilities that are not present in smaller-scale models but are present in large-scale models; thus they cannot be predicted by simply extrapolating the performance improvements on smaller-scale models.
