Anthropic reports evidence that Claude has developed a small set of internal neural patterns, called the J-space, that appear to support conscious-access-like functions such as reporting, silent reasoning, and flexible task use. The paper argues this resembles the neuroscience theory of a global workspace, where a limited shared channel makes information available across systems. The finding is presented as an interpretability result about how language models represent and use internal concepts.
