When Reality Outpaces Cognition: A New Scaling Principle for Reliable Intelligence

arXiv:2610.20764v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: This paper challenges the understanding capabilities of existing AI paradigms and emerging world models by asking a fundamental question: How quickly can reality change before an intelligent system can no longer reliably perceive, reason, and act? We formulate this as a theory- and model-agnostic challenge in which systems must infer reliable actions for increasingly distant future states across a growing observation--reality gap. We operationalize this challenge through the effective Speed of Coherent Cognition (\(S_C^{\mathrm{eff}}\)), defined
