arXiv:2608.05154v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Rotary positional encoding (RoPE) is a core component of modern language models and has been extended to multimodal LLMs through multidimensional variants such as multimodal RoPE (M-RoPE), which split positional channels into temporal, height, and width subspaces. This report identifies two limitations of static multidimensional position assignment in interleaved multimodal contexts. First, height/width rotations may be applied to token pairs whose spatial displacement is not a well-defined geometric object, producing cross-modal and inter-instance spatial interference. Second, temporal coordinates are often treated as equal-step counters, so a text token, an image block, and a video segment can advance the temporal phase by comparable amounts despite different information density. We propose RIG-RoPE, a relation- and instance-gated RoPE mechanism with duration-aware temporal coordinates. RIG-RoPE augments each token with a modality indicator, a visual instance identifier, and a scalar information-duration coordinate. It enables H/W rotations only for query-key pairs from the same visual instance; otherwise the unknown spatial displacement is marginalized rather than set to zero. Temporal rotations use interpolated cumulative block durations: text tokens consume unit duration, images use a dimension-aware logarithmic spatial scale, and videos further apply a logarithmic temporal extension over effective frames. We provide a gauge-invariance argument for avoiding ordinary cross-instance spatial rotation, an impossibility …
