让大模型在潜空间逐步推理解图，无需外部工具。

Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) have achieved remarkable progress but still struggle with complex visual reasoning tasks requiring multi-step perception and logical deduction. While explicit visual generation incurs prohibitive computational costs, existing latent approaches often rely on external experts or lack rigorous cognitive logic. In this paper, we introduce ProLaViT (Progressive Latent Visual Thought), a framework empowering MLLMs to perform structured visual derivation in the continuous latent space. Unlike works dependent on heterogeneous external models, ProLaViT leverages an endogenous self-distillation mechanism, utilizing the model's own visual encoder to supervise latent thoughts. To facilitate this, we construct a scalable programmatic synthesis pipeline enabling the model to internalize algorithmic precision without inference time tools. We design two reasoning paradigms: (1) Coarse-to-Fine Causal Chain for spatial tasks, guiding attention from global context to local targets. (2) Dialectical Reasoning Chain for logical tasks, incorporating counter-factual thinking for verification. Furthermore, we propose a Distance-Weighted Diversity Loss to impose topology-aware constraints, preventing feature degeneration by enforcing semantic distinctiveness. Extensive experiments demonstrate that ProLaViT outperforms baselines on vision-centric benchmarks, achieving superior accuracy and interpretability with high efficiency.
