GAGR-Lab: Evaluating Joint Spatial-Geometric and Analytic Function Reasoning

Jingyao Zhang, Yun Li, Lu Han

Spatial Reasoning Benchmarks Mathematical Reasoning Visual Spatial Reasoning Constraint Satisfaction

Open paper AskPDF arXiv

Joint spatial-geometric and analytic function reasoning requires translating a perceived spatial configuration into a symbolic function whose executed curve satisfies geometric constraints. We present GAGR-Lab, a framework for measuring this capability through Cartesian game scenes, explicit function semantics, and authoritative Rust trajectory execution. It distinguishes spatial perception, metric grounding, geometric relations, function interpretation, function construction, and constrained synthesis. We specify four configurable scene-difficulty presets and a prospective 24-cell diagnostic design, while reporting only the subset actually evaluated. A bounded pilot of one hosted model (Llama 3.2 11B Vision Instruct) using two API credentials as execution replicas yields 72 balanced games with 432 attempts, 429 valid provider responses, and no target hits; exploratory ordinary-function prompt variants also fail to hit, while the structured localization interface yields no scoreable outputs. A privileged analytic search control independently succeeds on 600 directional cases from 300 generated scenes, with exact repeatability and 1,200 successful vertical-reflection or translation checks. The framework separates serving reliability, symbolic compliance, and geometric success, and preserves exact model-visible inputs and realized paths. A staged protocol outlines diagnostic calibration, held-out replication, multi-model comparison, and paired robustness tests. The contribution is an operational research framework with an executed pilot and a clearly identified prospective study plan; the full difficulty matrix and comparative model results remain untested.
