The paper introduces an action‑conditioned Network World Model that learns how a network’s diffusion dynamics evolve under interventions over time. This model can quickly predict the outcomes of actions, enabling a coding agent to design and refine algorithms that select actions to maximize expected performance on complex network tasks. Experiments on eight network tasks and five diffusion models show that the resulting algorithms match or surpass the best existing baselines in 138 of 141 settings while achieving up to 14.5× faster rollouts than traditional Monte Carlo simulation.

Deep learning has enabled significant advances in time-series causal inference, yet progress remains constrained by the lack of realistic benchmarks with observable counterfactual outcomes. Existing datasets either rely on real-world observations without ground-truth counterfactuals or on simplified simulations that fail to capture complex causal dynamics.

The paper introduces the Graph Dynamics Model (GDM), a world model that learns stochastic latent dynamics over evolving graph topologies. GDM employs a sparse recurrent adjacency matrix for topology updates and a recurrent state‑space architecture for stochastic transitions, enabling it to handle partially observable, stochastic environments. The authors also propose the Graph Distribution Distance (GDD) metric, using maximum mean discrepancy with a graph kernel, to compare predicted and true joint graph state distributions, and demonstrate GDM’s superior performance and zero‑shot generalisation on large graphs.
