Why it matters
Multimodality is the Index's most mature dimension, which makes its residual failure mode instructive: perception has largely been solved, and the reasoning built on top of it has not.
Key developments
- Scene understanding near human baseline
- Counting, ordering and localisation still fail
- The gap directly bounds embodiment progress
