Do LLMs Exhibit Coherent Knowledge Structures in Mathematical Reasoning? A Perspective from Knowledge Space Theory
This is a useful negative result for builders. LLMs today don't reason with structured prerequisites the way humans do, even when given context about dependencies. It's an empirical validation of something people suspected. If you're building tutoring systems or reasoning chains that assume compositional knowledge structure, this tells you that assumption is wrong with current models. Not a blocker, but real design guidance.
