Temporal State Transport in Video Generation: Diagnosing and Correcting Spectral Imbalance
Reliable video generation requires more than high-quality frames to form a coherent story: a model must maintain a persistent state, transporting visual attributes such as identity, scene layout, motion, and fine details across time. Existing training-free methods mainly strengthen cross-frame attention or analyze local attention entropy, but these views do not reveal whether temporal interactions stay in a healthy transport regime. In this work, we study video generation through the perspective of Temporal State Transport. We introduce Spectral Tension, a signed diagnostic that compares local attention diffuseness with global spectral diversity, and use it to identify two opposite tempor...
