contents Token-based transformer world models have shown strong performance in visual reinforcement learning, but often suffer from temporal inconsistency in long-horizon rollouts, including object duplication, disappearance, and transmutation. A key reason is that most existing approaches treat next-frame prediction purely as a token generation problem, without considering the persistence of tokens across time. We introduce Identifiable Token Correspondence (ITC), a decoding step for token-based transformer world models that formulates next-frame prediction as a structured assignment problem with latent token correspondence variables: each next-frame token is explained either by copying a token from the previous frame or by generating a new one. ITC leaves the transformer architecture and training procedure unchanged and can be added on top of existing backbones. Our experiments show state-of-the-art performance on 4 challenging benchmarks. The proposed method achieves a return of 72.5% and a score of 35.6% on the Craftax-classic benchmark, significantly surpassing the previous best of 67.4% and 27.9%. We release our source code on https://github.com/snu-mllab/Identifiable-Token-Correspondence.
