From LLM Inference Limits to the Physical Fast Network of Natural Intelligence: A Falsifiable Hypothesis and Research Program
Preprints.org September 9, 2026 Qi Cui, Zheng Meng Sun preprint
The rapid scaling of large language models (LLMs) and sparse mixture-of-experts (MoE) architectures reframes a foundational question about intelligence: must intelligent systems rely on large-scale, serial, and explicit computation, or does natural intelligence employ a faster, lower-level response mechanism than neuronal networks and explicit cognition? We introduce the Physical Fast Network...
