Agents That Learn What Matters: A New Approach to World Modeling
![The system decomposes the challenge of navigating a complex environment-specifically, a lava crossing-into a hierarchy of reusable concepts and constraints, demonstrating that abstract notions like ‘moving’ can underpin both progression and terminal states, while learned constraints-such as the mutual exclusion between being alive and dead-enforce a physically consistent, interpretable model of the world [latex]\otimes[/latex].](https://arxiv.org/html/2602.17217v1/x1.png)
This research introduces a self-supervised framework that allows agents to continuously refine their understanding of the world by inventing new concepts as they learn.
