Researchers have introduced a new framework called interaction locality to measure how information flows within AI models during spatial reasoning tasks. This framework analyzes whether computations remain confined to nearby areas or semantic segments, or if they cross these boundaries. The study applied this to models like HRM, TRM, and MTU3D, finding that high-level states in recursive models tend to write information locally, accumulating into broader structures, while embodied models concentrate causal spatial structure at module boundaries.
