The paper introduces Causal Visual Recurrent Reasoning (CVRR), a method that forces multimodal models to rely on latent visual states by using recurrent computation as the sole image‑conditioned path to prediction. CVRR initializes recurrence from the question hidden state after a pretrained vision‑language model has processed the image, repeatedly updates this state while re‑reading the same visual evidence, and removes all other visual traces before decoding. Experiments on several benchmarks show that CVRR maintains strong performance while other latent reasoners lose visual competence, and causal interventions confirm that predictions depend on the recurrent visual trajectory.

Vision‑language models (VLMs) can lose accuracy when images are resized, even with minimal changes. The study shows that such small visual configuration changes—like tiling or token arrangement—cause more correctness flips across multiple checkpoints and benchmarks. Interestingly, in many cases the models still read the correct answer but fail to use it, and attention interventions reveal that configuration shifts weaken the use of readable information. By guiding models with field cues and their own transcriptions, the authors correct 97.2% of these errors.
