arXiv:2608.19492v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: World models increasingly treat compact multimodal representations as interfaces between perception and physical interaction, yet existing probes do not establish whether different sensors carry the same executable meaning or whether that meaning survives a new action composition. We introduce an operational capability hierarchy and the Disjoint-Bridge Operator-Substitution Certificate (DBOSC), which asks whether independently trained modality compilers enter a frozen response chart interchangeably on evidence outside their training panels. On Cluster Haptic, audio and acceleration representations of the same unseen surface are 4.5x closer in response space than wrong-surface pairings, with the gap holding for all 19 held-out surfaces; unsealing withheld responses confirms that every branch predicts the physics better than the population chart. We then test ordered execution in a controlled elastoplastic system with complementary modality blind spots. At the pre-registered budget, the prerequisite refuses the stack because the frozen executor cannot advance even an exact chart coordinate through a held-out program. At a converged budget, the same rank-three chart executes those programs (oracle NMSE 0.18), fusion improves on both modalities, and 14 of 16 registered checks pass; the two failures arise because a diagonal restriction of the fused information matrix performs as well as the full one. Clearing the gate is a property of the executor, not the chart: an executor emitting whole programs instead of shared per-step …
