LLM do exactly the same thing humans do: we read the text, raise flag, and flags on flags, on the various topics the text reminds us of, positive and negative, and then starts writing out a response that corresponds to those flags and likely attends to all of them. the planning ahead is just some flag that needs addressing, but it's learnt predictive behavior. nothing much to see here. experience gives you the flags. it's like applying massive pressure and diamonds will form.
