The eight papers fall into four placements of the shared state: inside one joint network (Solaris, MIRA, Gamma-World, ShareVerse) coupled by attention over all views or via hub tokens; in an explicit global state encoder (MultiWorld); in an explicit typed state with separate renderers (MASS); or exchanged between per-player clients as player and scene state (WorldCast). MetaWorld couples two denoising branches by cross-attention at every layer. Which design is better is not settled: papers compare only against their own retrained baselines.

Curator qualifications: All excerpts located; four shared-state placements; cost-driver disagreement (attention vs rendering) kept. Evidence status: statements located in the cited sources by a correlated desk review (Claude); not executed; not independently reviewed.
