Abstract
-cross Abstract: Multi-agent traffic simulation seeks diverse, coordinated, and physically realistic futures from maps and observed history. Long-horizon closed-loop generation must reconcile multiple decision time scales while its context evolves with generated states. Existing methods often unfold long futures from an initial scene and resolve intent, interaction, and motion monolithically, weakening cross-scale consistency and adaptation. Multimodal rollout poses a further consistency problem: independently reselecting modes across agents or commits can stitch together incompatible futures instead of preserving a coherent joint branch. We present Hi-FLoop, a branch-consistent multi-timescale state-feedback framework. Eight scene-level Worlds represent joint hypotheses; all agents share one selected World identity throughout all 16 commits of an 8-second rollout, while Goal, Preview, and Control states adapt within that branch. An 8-second Goal anchors intent, a 2-second Preview coordinates interactions, and 1-second Control produces physical motion. Every 0.5-second commit feeds back only its executed prefix as new facts, while unexecuted hypotheses never enter factual memory. Joint Preview Interaction induces a sparse directed future graph and uses conflict probabilities and signed arrival-time differences to refine interaction-aware motion. For generated-state recovery, a prefix-frozen A-to-B cascade transfers typed physical state and the branch index--but no latent state--from a frozen prefix model to an independently parameterized recovery model. On the full H-D public-validation split of 955 scenarios, the S2.1 cascade obtains an 8-second scene-joint ADE-at-joint-minFDE@8/joint-minFDE@8 of 2.048/6.384 m when one World must explain all evaluated agents. Agent-centric oracle-minADE@8 is 0.526 m at 6 seconds and 0.875 m at 8 seconds.

Claims are temporal and append-only: a new observation closes the previous claim (valid_to) instead of overwriting it. Conflicting claims from different sources are kept side by side and flagged — never averaged. Methodology →
