  "title": "MASS: Multiplayer World Models with Authoritative Shared State",
  "summary": "Current video world models struggle in multiplayer environments because they entangle world state with view-dependent visual latents, leading to redundant compute, view inconsistencies, and poor scalability. We propose MAS (Multiplayer world models with Authoritative Shared State) to resolve this limitation. Inspired by multiplayer game architectures, MAS disentangles world dynamics and view rendering. A learned Logic Engine advances a global, authoritative typed state from joint actions without",
