  "summary": "World models are widely proposed as core components for enabling agents to reason over long temporal and spatial horizons. Yet current evaluations often emphasize task performance while providing limited insight into whether learned world models acquire predictive latent dynamics that reflect the underlying structure of the environment. Here we introduce the concept of faithful latent world…",
