Humans routinely transform local, viewpoint-dependent observations into shared spatial models through language. COSMIC asks whether MLLMs can do the same. The benchmark places two static agents in the same indoor scene from different egocentric viewpoints. The agents must communicate exclusively through natural language to jointly solve a spatial QA task.

## Usage
```python
from datasets import load_dataset
ds_anchor_recognition = load_dataset("mair-lab/Cosmic", name="anchor_recognition", split="test")
ds_cognitive_mapping = load_dataset("mair-lab/Cosmic", name="cognitive_mapping", split="test")
ds_global_counting = load_dataset("mair-lab/Cosmic", name="global_counting", split="test")
ds_relative_direction = load_dataset("mair-lab/Cosmic", name="relative_direction", split="test")
ds_relative_distance = load_dataset("mair-lab/Cosmic", name="relative_distance", split="test")
```
