+## Overview
+
+Online 3D reconstruction requires estimating camera pose and scene geometry under strict causal and bounded-memory constraints. Existing methods suffer from drift, jitter, or collapse on long sequences — a symptom of a fundamental mismatch: streaming geometry is temporally heterogeneous (evidence spans short-lived correspondences to persistent global scale), yet most architectures impose uniform influence patterns such as hard sliding-window cutoffs or ungated recurrence that causes cache saturation and attention sinks.
+
+**HorizonStream** resolves this by formalizing geometric propagation as an *evidence influence kernel* and explicitly factorizing it:
+
+- **Geometric Linear Attention** — learns per-channel decay rates for bounded, multi-timescale propagation of geometric evidence across the full history.
+- **Geometric Local Attention with Spatiotemporal RoPE** — performs reliable short-range 3D matching while suppressing attention sinks.
+- **Metric Readout Tokens** — recover stable scale and rigid pose directly from the persistent geometric state.
+
+Trained on only 48-frame clips, HorizonStream generalizes stably to sequences exceeding **10,000 frames** with **constant memory** and **linear time**, achieving state-of-the-art streaming 3D reconstruction on KITTI, Waymo, and VBR benchmarks. It outputs camera poses, depth maps, videos, and point clouds from raw image sequences or videos.
