Summary

Weave Forcing routes historical video memories separately for subjects and backgrounds without retraining the generator.

Interactive video needs to recombine earlier elements, not simply extend the last scene. Weave Forcing divides a prompt into semantic slots, retrieves references for characters and backgrounds separately, and masks compressed historical memories so unrelated content stays hidden. It also adjusts temporal offsets when reference coverage is incomplete. The authors report better cross-shot subject and background consistency with competitive visual quality and text alignment; the abstract gives no universal duration or consistency guarantee.

Corrections

: Publication note: This October 4 edition was reconstructed on October 5 after the workstation was offline. It uses original October 2 submissions from the standard Sunday-evening arXiv release, rather than claiming those papers were available for the missed 9 AM run. The date and 9 AM publication slot preserve archive chronology; October 5 developments are excluded. The September 27 Invention Desk is carried over because its replacement was generated October 5.
