A Formal Limitation on Learning Human Language From Textual Corpora
This formalizes something practitioners know intuitively: no amount of text can fully disambiguate human meaning. Context is irreducible. For builders: this isn't a limit on capability scaling, it's a limit on what pure language modeling can do. You need multimodal data, interaction, or structured knowledge. For researchers: the bounds are intrinsic to language, not artifacts of training.
