Translation cost can be compared to serialization overhead in computer systems: converting an internal parallel, multi-dimensional structured representation into a linear natural-language stream necessarily loses parallelism and introduces latency.

UnverifiedConverting internal mechanical structures into human language carries a high cognitive cost (translation cost), because abstract concepts are still deforming in real time during the act of explanation.73% similarUnverifiedBuilding high-quality parallel corpora requires the involvement of professional translators and is extremely costly; parallel corpora available for low-resource languages are often limited to a very small number of domain-specific texts such as Bible translations.73% similarVerifiedIn large language models, the cost of generating code (output tokens) is far higher than the cost of analyzing problems (chain-of-thought reasoning).72% similar
