LLM’s operate strictly feed forward neural networks.

Your assumption is wrong. Unlike artificial neurons, real neurons process massively and concurrently, let’s say 10-20 thousand inputs at once in less than 1 millisecond. In Kahnemans theory system 2 always involves the anterior cingulate cortex and arises when there are multiple conflicting streams of information. That’s the defining characteristic. Both system 1 and system two process in the same way, including looping back to previous areas. So really, no, stopping an LLM early vs letting it run has nothing to do with Kahnemans theory. In general LLMs are so far removed from what we consider natural cognition that it’s very hard to apply neuroscience concepts to LLMs simply because they share no real world similarity. At best, you’re simulating something in a very inefficient way.
