What WCA Is

WCA represents a world state as node vectors, expands that state into a family of node-centered local worlds, evolves those local worlds through learned pair interactions, and recomposes evolved centers into the next global state.

The core semantic contract is:

H_t [B,N,D]
  -> L_t [B,N,N,D]
  -> dense local-world pair evolution with semantic [B,N,N,N,D]
  -> center recomposition
  -> H_{t+1} [B,N,D]

Main Claim

WCA is a credible early architecture primitive for recursive world-state modeling. Current evidence is strongest in token-level PDEBench reaction-diffusion, where recursion depth, learnable interfaces, attribution controls, and h8x2 rollout diagnostics support WCA-core contribution beyond interface-only and no-recursion controls.

Evidence Status

• Formal current row: V25d h8x2 token-level rollout.
• Source-audit attribution: V25e-r3 learnable-interface controls.
• Establish-stage evidence: V25 recursion-depth ladder.
• Secondary evidence: maze potential fields and WeatherBench-style real-field transfer.
• Diagnostic boundary: N=256 PatchMean underperformance.
