**ACTIVITY OF THE WEEK - Tunnel trouble**

Recently upgraded, this activity is great for practising pupils' positional and directional language and spatial reasoning skills.

Warn them about the monster though!

Rethinking the Simulation vs. Rendering Dichotomy: No Free Lunch in Spatial World Modelling Spatial world models, representations that support flexible reasoning about spatial relations, are central to developing computational models that could operate in the physical world, but their precise mechanistic underpinnings are nuanced by the borrowing of underspecified or misguided accounts of human cognition. This paper revisits the simulation versus rendering dichotomy and draws on evidence from aphantasia to argue that fine-grained perceptual content is critical for model-based spatial reasoning. Drawing on recent research into the neural basis of visual awareness, we propose that spatial simulation and perceptual experience depend on shared representational geometries captured by higher-order indices of perceptual relations. We argue that recent developments in embodied AI support this claim, where rich perceptual details improve performance on physics-based world engagements. To this end, we call for the development of architectures capable of maintaining structured perceptual representations as a step toward spatial world modelling in AI.

Our paper is now available at arxiv.org/abs/2510.20835. For anyone interested, we’d love to hang out and chat 💬🧃

> we have scoured the research on #spatialreasoning & the idea is that you can choose which to use with your 5 yr olds to check where they are and to inform your teaching& provision.
TBH I’d also use these with older children to do the same.
Let us know how it goes earlymaths.org
