MWM
A framework that enables AI to explicitly construct a subjective world, recording an individual's psychological states, modeling the interaction between cognition and psychological states, and continuously evolving with historical experience. It is used to improve theory-of-mind inference, allowing the model to maintain and update representations of mental states rather than relying solely on surface text.

The paper "Beyond Large Language Models: A Mental World Model Framework for Mental Modeling, Simulation, Evolution, and Interpretability" proposed the Mental World Model (MWM) framework.
The core idea of MWM is to have AI explicitly construct a subjective world, record an individual's mental states, model the interactions between cognition and mental states, and let the subjective world continuously evolve with historical experience.
MWM is implemented as the Multi-Branch Mental Evolution Architecture (MMEA), which processes different dimensions of mental states through multiple branches and simulates continuous evolution along a time axis.
Explicitly modeling the mental world and simulating its evolution captures an individual's internal cognitive processes better than merely scaling up the semantic representations of language models.
MWM provides an interpretable framework for continuous mental modeling, enabling AI to infer an individual's latent mental states from linguistic information and dynamically simulate changes in their internal cognitive processes over time.
The paper positions MWM as a promising foundation toward artificial general intelligence (AGI), because deeper social cognition is an indispensable capability of AGI.
MWM is currently still at the benchmark testing stage, and issues such as generalization in open environments, the completeness of mental state representations, and multimodal information fusion still await further research.
