Abstract (arXiv)

While recent video generation models synthesize highly realistic visuals, they lack a genuine understanding of intrinsic real-world logic. Existing methods attempt to understand the world by internalizing diverse world knowledge, yet constrained by computational overhead or dimensionality alignment, their learning processes inevitably compress features, causing a severe loss of structural information. To address this, we propose IntactWorld, a Joint World Modeling Architecture utilizing uncompressed Intact Features. Since data naturally reside on a low-dimensional manifold within a high-dimensional space, predicting the flow velocity v within this uncompressed high-dimensional space induces a severe manifold gap. To successfully eliminate this optimization bottleneck, our framework instead predicts the clean feature x0 at intermediate layers. Furthermore, to mitigate the computational overhead of incorporating complete world knowledge, we introduce a textitFull-to-Compact Training Paradigm. By replacing raw full features with highly refined CLS tokens, this paradigm enables efficient single-branch guidance, reducing spatial memory consumption by 11.4% and cutting inference latency by 43.8%. Extensive evaluations demonstrate the effectiveness of IntactWorld, outperforming established baselines by 2.46 points on the VBench 2.0 benchmark.
