World-Coherent Decoding: Self-Verifying Test-Time Planning for World Action Models

World-Coherent Decoding (WCD) is a test-time planning framework for World Action Models (WAMs) that treats rollouts as falsifiable future–action hypotheses. At each decision step, WCD samples multiple candidates from a frozen WAM and ranks them using flow-based video surprisal for visual plausibility and action path effort for generation stability. After execution, the observed outcome audits the chosen imagination, producing a mismatch signal that trains a lightweight online predictor to improve future candidate selection, thereby enhancing reliability without updating the backbone model.
