Gridworld Counterfactual State Replay

Replays six what-if robotics scenes to show what a spatial prediction claim is built from.

Contract

Does This replay takes six made-up "what if" spatial scenes from robotics and self-driving-style settings (a forklift appears from behind an occlusion, a small pedestrian steps into a crosswalk, a gust pushes a drone off course, a shiny floor fools a robot into seeing free space, a stacked load shifts into a lane, and an oncoming car turns late) and shows each one as inspectable rows: the starting scene, the action taken, the predicted next scene, what changed between them, a sanity check, and honest notes on its limits (it is synthetic, not real-world ground truth). The rows show exactly what a spatial "world model" claim is built from, plus a checklist of dangerous claims it deliberately refuses to make.

Scope limit It validates only the declared public contract of synthetic spatial counterfactual-replay metadata rows. It is evidence for inspectable replay rows and limitation labels, not for real-world spatial accuracy, simulator-product validity, media-only authority, operational deployment, service distribution, or scope decisions.
