arXiv:2607. 21645v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Multi-horizon latent consistency is a common training knob in video predictors and world models, but practitioners rarely know what it does to transition geometry.
arXiv:2607. 10362v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Latent world models are trained to predict future states in a learned representation and are then deployed inside a planner that selects actions by simulating them forward.
arXiv:2607. 21644v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We present a goal-agnostic control framework for partial differential equations (PDEs) built around a joint-embedding predictive architecture (JEPA).
arXiv:2608. 00675v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Autoregressive models accumulate error over long rollouts, yet at deployment there is no ground truth to measure it against.
arXiv:2606. 24946v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Learned world models are useful only over horizons on which their rollout error remains controlled.
arXiv:2607. 16821v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Task arithmetic, sequential fine-tuning, activation steering, and first-order random search all operate through relatively small perturbations around an already trained checkpoint, and they rely on different local approximations: individual perturbations should be first-order predictable, task updates should compose with controlled interference, useful tangent structure should be stable and possible to estimate, and weight edits should have counterparts in representation space.
arXiv:2606. 03003v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: A latent world model built from an equivariant encoder $E$ and an equivariant predictor $f$ inherits a provable symmetry of its training loss: when the world's dynamics genuinely carries a group $G$ acting on latents by an orthogonal representation $\rho(g)$, the one-step prediction relMSE is exactly invariant across the whole group, so fitting the dynamics on a restricted slice of orientations mathematically determines it on the entire orbit (j\v{u} y\=i f\v{a}n s\=an).
arXiv:2607. 18715v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Latent world models underpin much of modern model-based control, yet current action-conditioned formulations supervise the next-latent transition with a single, undifferentiated target, forcing a monolithic learning signal to absorb every source of state change.
arXiv:2607. 10203v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Adaptive-compute world models -- early-exit or mixture-of-depths predictors that spend variable depth per step -- assume depth buys better predictions and can be routed adaptively.

arXiv:2607. 27017v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: A central premise of latent world models is that predicting the future forces a representation to internalize the physics of its environment.
arXiv:2608. 12959v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Latent world models are judged by how well they predict, so when planning fails at long horizons the natural reading is that the predictor degrades.
arXiv:2607. 04464v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: World-model evaluation for model-based reinforcement learning typically asks whether the learned model predicts reward and value well, which can leave planning-relevant errors in the model's latent rollouts unmeasured.
