# Does arXiv 2610.06637 show that its state-tracking model actually uses the action sequence and resists a false fact in its state, and how strong is that evidence?

Two controlled tests in S2, both only on the synthetic CEO-Bench simulator. (1) A fabricated -$5,000/week cash shock injected into the encoded state costs latent-recursive 11.1 SE-score points on average (8-14 at every horizon), latent-SR after distillation 5.4 and the full latent-SR 1.7; an irrelevant latency distractor costs about zero. (2) In a three-branch counterfactual set (60 companies, separate simulator run, horizons 1/3/7/10, statistics at h>=5) only the full latent-SR has a significantly positive adjusted margin (+0.024, sign and permutation p < 0.001); raw-history models are significantly negative on the sign test and every earlier latent-SR stage is null. Neither test exists for Jericho or ScienceWorld, so claims about fiction state tracking from these tests are extrapolations.

Curator qualifications: Synthetic CEO-Bench only: fabricated cash shock costs latent-recursive 11.1 points vs 1.7 for full latent-SR; counterfactual sensitivity test on 60 companies.
