Figure, table and section ledger
Editorial contribution type: Efficiency, inference & systems (primary).
Layout extraction, not a required paper template. Counts are distinct caption labels; a multi-panel figure counts once. Section spans are estimated from heading positions, including floats and whitespace. Method and limitations.

Extraction notes: No attached appendix boundary detected. Zero means no recognized caption, not independently verified absence.
Section-by-section lengths and source pages
The title/abstract/front matter precede the first numbered heading. A span ends at the next detected top-level heading, not at the last sentence; end-page whitespace is included. References and statements are listed separately. These are not measurements of text-only or artwork area.

Attached appendix
No recognized caption labels.
Separate source files—excluded from canonical-PDF totals
A separate author version may repeat main text and references. Whole-file lengths and counts are not extra appendix material and are never added to the canonical PDF totals. Read the study's source scope for which sections received substantive reading versus layout inspection.
Additional source 1
Separate PDF (or ZIP containing it): whole-file layout of 6 physical pages; 7 detected figures and 3 tables. These may include overlapping main-text material.
Located appendix only: starts on physical p.1; ≈ 5.88 page-equivalents, 7 figure labels and 3 table labels. This interval is distinct from the whole file.
Argument and organization
- Problem and contribution
Positions decoder redundancy and task-specific pipelines as the obstacle to efficient unified 4D understanding.
- Argument sequence
Defines the query interface first, derives several tasks from it, then explains architecture and training before broad evaluation.
- Evidence and verification
Table 1 is a task-to-query specification rather than a leaderboard; later plots/tables report pose-speed and track throughput at explicit FPS targets.

Figures, captions and visual explanation
Figure 2 color-codes spatial coordinates, source time, target time and camera frame through the query and output, preventing different time indices from collapsing visually.

Tables, comparisons and evidence
Table 1 is a task-to-query specification rather than a leaderboard; later plots/tables report pose-speed and track throughput at explicit FPS targets.

Appendix and reproducibility
Long-video stitching, high-resolution query/patch comparisons and public-only training results expand the evidence beyond a single standard resolution.
Supplement Appendices B–D, pp. 2–4 · Main paper · Additional source 2
Clarity and writing conventions
The caption and surrounding prose explicitly state that encoding is cached while queries are decoded independently.

What to reuse—and what not to infer
Transferable lesson: A unified model benefits from an interface table: show exactly which inputs vary to recover each advertised task.
Boundary: Throughput depends on query density, video length and hardware; a pose FPS number is not full dense-4D reconstruction FPS.
Apply this lesson using the argument and evidence worksheet.
