As data structures and mathematical objects used for complex systems modeling, hypergraphs sit nicely poised between on the one hand the world of network models, and on the other that of higher-order mathematical abstractions from algebra,…

World models have been recently proposed as sandbox environments in which AI agents can be trained and evaluated before deployment. While realistic world models often have high computational demands, this can often be alleviated by…
