Transformers process images and videos by flattening space and time into long token sequences. While attention and KV caching preserve past features, their memory grows with sequence length and they lack an explicit, persistent spatial state, making long-horizon video understanding and occlusion-sensitive reasoning difficult. We propose Tensor Memory, a lightweight module that augments Transformer blocks with a fixed-size recurrent 3D memory tensor: tokens write into a voxel grid via a differentiable soft write that deposits content as a Gaussian-weighted volume around a predicted continuous 3D location, the memory is updated with an efficient local interaction operator and gated recurrent dynamics, and tokens read back context via continuous sampling with gated residual fusion. Because the memory tensor has a constant size, Tensor Memory decouples state capacity from input length while preserving a spatial inductive bias. We evaluate the module on standard language, image, and video benchmarks and on a controlled toy diagnostic suite designed to isolate when persistent state is beneficial; it integrates with standard Transformer training pipelines and can be attached to or removed from existing blocks without other architectural changes.
