Exactly. Both the theater script and code are metadata that manipulates entities: characters in a play or variables in memory. There's definitely abstract-level understanding emerging: that's why models can be trained on python, but write code in java. That could be instructions like pseudo-code or the hidden document/theater script you mentioned. That capability jump from GPT3 to o1 is real. But my point is: pure metadata manipulation has hit a ceiling or is moving at a crawling pace since o1. The breakthrough applications (like agentic AI) still depend on the underlying model's ability to generate accurate code. When that capability plateaus, all the clever orchestration on top of it plateaus too.
