The term "world model" as it was once used in model-based RL can now apparently refer to anything as silly as linear regression. Then again, the RL folks probably borrowed the term from behavioral scientists before them. It's probably best to simply accept this :/
A similar thing happened to "object oriented" which has been misused by philosophers and visual artists alike.
