thank you. My conjecture (based on some neuroscience evidence) is that reasoning infrastructure is shared between both language and sensorimotor domains. Maybe the language domain gets a few additional tweaks on top of the sensorimotor reasoning. Even everyday sensorimotor behavior involves reasoning, some of which is unconscious. One distinguishing property of reasoning in the language domain might be that it is always conscious.

Agree with this, although my neuroscience is even below elementary , but i was reading Alexander luria's book where he said that external tools like writing, tables of multiplication etc ties down various functional regions of brain, so language basically is knoting various sensorimotors brain regions and shares that with others also. How can transformers do that in vision and language in reliable ways is unknown and maybe 100 Trillion GPT will tell us.
