arXiv:2604.17819v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Do Theory of Mind (ToM) benchmarks really test theory of mind, or are they actually testing parsing and algorithmic state tracking? While benchmarks vary modality and dialogue length, this paper finds that they re-encode the same few state transition algorithms. We create PDDL-Mind, a neuro-symbolic approach that recovers such algorithms and upstream inductive biases of ToM benchmarks explicitly by parsing narratives into the Planning Domain Definition Language (PDDL) and executes candidate actions against a predefined set of update alg
