Automated excerpt
MindTopo is a new benchmark that isolates topological reasoning from metric reasoning. Why Topology Matters for Agents Metric reasoning answers "how far?" and "what angle?". Tasks span all five topological properties. But this collapses topological structure into metric approximations. Implementation path: Model your environment as a topological graph (zones, connections, boundaries).
