The interesting part to me (total outsider looking in) isn't a hierarchy as much as what they say is different at each level. Each "higher" level is "thinking" about a future of longer and longer length and with more meaning drawn from semantic content (vs. syntactic content) than the ones "below" it. The "lower" levels "think" on very short terms and focus on syntax.

I’ve tried simulating that with chatgpt to some effect. I was just tinkering by hand but used it to write a story and it really helped with consistency and conference.
ChatGPT itself does that, AFAIK, by increasingly summarizing past conversation and using it as context for the next prompt.
There are 4 different representations it uses to maximize the available memory for the conversational context.
Is this accurate? The lower levels have access to the higher levels (feel free to post the relevant optical/audio illusions).
