Unfold The World: Factorize 4D Properties in Reinforcing Spatial Reasoning

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Sep 3, 2026 · UTC

Despite the remarkable prowess of Vision-Language Models (VLMs) in general multimodal tasks, they remain fundamentally ``flat'' when reasoning about the physical world. We argue that this spatial bottleneck stems from a profound dimensional mismatch: while VLMs are trained to interpret 2D projections, true spatial reasoning demands the recovery of latent 3D geometry and temporal continuity. To conquer this high-dimensional complexity, we advocate a shift from monolithic learning to a ``divide and conquer'' paradigm. We present FactoSR, a factorized reinforcement learning framework that explici
