This entire article rests in nonsense that fails to understand the basic mathematics. J-space is not discrete due to some ancient assumption about words and consciousness. J-space is discrete because the Jacobian lens used to infer the space can ONLY yield discrete answers.
There is no non-discrete solution, not because of Vygotsky, but because a J-lens cannot yield a non-discrete solution.
Similarly, there is no non-verbal outcome specifically because Anthropic focused the study only on verbalizeable representations. Again, not because of some poorly structured concept by Vygotsky, but because that is what was tested for.
I make no claims about Vygotsky here, only that the claim that Vygotsky's theory explains the J-space output is nonsense. Vygotsky is Vygotsky. J-space is discrete and verbal because that is the only thing the test could possibly have produced.
