Is an llm able to explain to itself what these parameters do, and change its own parameter settings?

An LLM is stateless so every time you send a message a command is run with the parameters, the prompts, and a copy of the chat history when using one of those chat interfaces, and then it returns text. If the output includes explaining it to an LLM that would then be included in the copy of the chat history placed in the new command.

It would be a bit like opening a text editor and typing in that you want to increase the font size. Someone external to the text would have to come along and click the font options.
