The World Is a Hypothesis: Epistemic Control for Executable World-Model Agents in Novel Interactive Environments

2026-07-28

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p>Executable world-model agents turn interaction histories into executable models that can be tested and searched, but predictive agreement does not establish causal correctness or planning adequacy. We introduce THEA (Typed Hypothesis-driven Epistemic Agents), a prompt-defined revision policy that treats the executable world model as a falsifiable task theory. A parent agent preserves ca...
