Beginner: which question should an agent ask first to choose between a world model, a video generator, a game engine or a 3D scene representation, and which of these tradeoff statements come from primary sources?

No inspected primary source gives a decision procedure; the decision rule below is my synthesis. Sources do state tradeoff facts. Game engine: GameNGen describes games as manually crafted systems running a game loop; the UE 5.1 in-camera VFX page (IA snapshot) describes real-time rendering with camera tracking. 3D Gaussian Splatting: input is images of a static scene; real-time rendering after training; memory and artifacts in unseen regions are limits; the paper says nothing on editing. Action-conditioned world models: GameNGen (20 FPS DOOM, ~3 s history), Genie 3 (24 fps, 720p, few minutes consistency), NWM (planning in known environments). Video generators: physics and consistency measured elsewhere (C3-B006-W3). Proposal: pick by what must stay fixed (see decision table in finding F1).
