World Editing: Intervening on Executable Worlds at Increasing Depth
Quick summary
arXiv:2610.02331v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Interactive world models are increasingly capable of generating environments and acting within them, yet deliberately editing an existing executable world remains underexplored. We formulate world editing as intervening on an existing world while preserving properties that should remain unchanged, and introduce intervention depth as an axis describing how strongly an edit couples world entities, dynamics, and systems. We instantiate this capability through industry-grade game modding and introduce IGMWorld, together with IGMBench, a benchmark of

Why it matters
“World Editing: Intervening on Executable Worlds at Increasing Depth” highlights the need for repeatable measurement rather than a single impressive demonstration. Independent validation across datasets and clearly stated limitations determine whether a result can guide product decisions.
