Research direction

Start with the linked lines 22-28 in pytensor/link/jax/dispatch/basic.py, then compare the copied approach in the PyTorch Linker. Determine why the default typify behavior assumes tensors or arrays and what behavior is intended for other inputs. Done means the expected behavior is resolved and the relevant linker implementation is corrected or documented.
