How can an agent test whether a generated world 'remembers' a place it left: what revisit protocol, which measures, which failure cases, and what can be reused with original synthetic camera paths?

The inspected papers converge on one shape of test: script a camera path that leaves a start view and returns to it (out-and-back, square loop, left-right yaw cycles, A-B-C-D-A loops), find the frame where the camera is back, and compare it with the first-visit frame. Measures range from PSNR/SSIM/LPIPS and DINO/CLIP/place-descriptor similarity to feature-match inlier ratios, depth-order correlation, pose-recovery error and VLM checklists. Three cautions recur: absolute similarity is inflated by a rollout that barely moves (R2M-Bench), the camera may not actually have returned (WorldExam, WorldMemBench), and one return is not enough (WorldMemBench found decay by the third). The reuse proposals below are labelled proposals; nothing was executed.
