arXiv:2605.30880v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Text-agent environments are typically modeled as partially observable Markov decision processes (POMDPs), assuming that the simulator's latent state and transition dynamics are hidden from the agent. Yet little work has examined whether executable code can be induced to serve as a world model for prediction and planning under partial observability. We introduce PatchWorld, a gradient-free framework that turns offline trajectories into executable Python world models through counterexample-guided code repair. Instead of predicting the next observ
The proliferation of complex AI environments necessitates more robust and interpretable world models for prediction and planning, pushing researchers to explore executable code as a modeling paradigm.
This research introduces a novel gradient-free approach to create executable Python world models capable of planning under partial observability, which is crucial for developing more autonomous and adaptable AI agents.
Traditional black-box world models are challenged by a framework that generates interpretable and modifiable code, potentially accelerating debugging, refinement, and generalization capabilities of AI systems.

AI agents will gain increased transparency and predictability in complex, partially observable environments.
This improved interpretability could lead to faster development cycles and more reliable deployment of autonomous systems.
The ability to generate executable world models might democratize AI development, allowing more nuanced control and understanding by non-specialists.
