This paper introduces a rigorous formal definition and holistic meta-model for Machine Theory of Mind, grounding the concept in cognitive psychology, neuroscience, and AI principles. By establishing a framework for empirical benchmarking, it sets a foundational agenda for advancing multiagent systems and addressing the theoretical gaps in current state-of-the-art models. The work shifts the field from speculative concepts toward measurable progress in modeling machine cognition.
A formal definition and meta-model for a machine theory of mind
arXiv:2606.03471v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: This paper proposes, for the first time, a rigorous formal definition of the concept of Machine Theory of Mind, based on principles supported by evidence from cognitive psychology, neuroscience and artificial intelligence, and uses the above as a lens to examine state-of-the-art and current efforts in the field, driving a potential agenda for further research there able to "crack" the problem. It also advances a general holistic meta-model for Machine Theory of Mind, and examines the state of the art when it comes to empirically benchmarking such models.
