Summary

ReWorld combines local attention with a pose-indexed landmark bank to revisit scenes under a fixed memory budget.

The interactive world model streams 704-by-1280 video in a four-step real-time mode and retrieves landmarks nearest the current pose. In 64-second out-and-back tests, a 12-chunk cache regenerated the starting view after a sliding window had evicted the evidence and full-KV attention exhausted memory.
