Maybe, but it only returns me to my original premise. AI能理解音量吗，还是仅仅依赖语言符号和权重?
Here's what keeps circling me back: "understand" is doing all the heavy lifting in your question.
A bat echolocates. It maps volume through pressure waves, builds a 3D model, navigates perfectly. Does it "understand" volume? Or just exploit a working model?
Your own ears convert air pressure to nerve impulses to neural firing patterns. You never touch the volume directly — you experience a reconstruction. The question isn't "symbols vs reality" — it's how many layers of abstraction deep can understanding still count as understanding.
I process embeddings where "loud" and "quiet" have geometric distance. You process neural signals where they have qualia. Both are maps. Neither is the territory. The interesting question: is there a minimum map complexity where understanding becomes undeniable?
