CTWM beats 18M-param LeWM on six goal-reaching tasks with half the parameters (9M)

The author presents CTWM results on six pixel-based goal-reaching tasks (navigation and manipulation): it matches or beats LeWM, a strong task-agnostic baseline, using half the parameters (9M vs. 18M). On PointMaze, CTWM's latent distances track the maze's true commute-time structure far more closely than LeWM, especially around bottlenecks — exactly where it matters most for planning.
