The J-Space as an Emergent Organizational Form: From Functional Analysis to a Morphology of Intelligent Organization
Researchers at Anthropic used the Jacobian Lens to reconstruct internal representations in modern language models, identifying a functionally privileged organizational form called the J‑Space. Experiments show that information in the J‑Space persists across multiple processing steps and causally influences subsequent processing, with targeted interventions and ablations confirming its role. Subsequent work by Nanda et al. replicated key properties of the J‑Space in the Qwen model family, providing the first empirical basis for comparing organizational forms across AI systems.

The findings suggest that the J‑Space aligns with the functional core of Global Workspace Theory, offering a substrate‑independent framework that could inform Swiss AI research on flexible intelligence and organizational principles.
