Physics is the Best Teacher: Consistency Learning for Time-Invariant Operators of Chaotic Dynamics

The paper proposes a method for predicting long‑term behavior in chaotic systems by learning a time‑invariant evolution operator that can jump across large time spans in a single evaluation. It derives consistency equations that the operator must satisfy, incorporating differential and compositional objectives tied to physical dynamics. Experiments on five chaotic systems show that this physics‑distilled consistency approach yields more accurate short‑term trajectories and long‑term statistics, survives temporal extrapolation, and requires only one‑tenth the evaluations of autoregressive rollouts.

Stable by Construction: Variational Latent Markov Operators for Long-Horizon PDE Prediction

The paper introduces a variational framework called VAMO that incorporates latent Markov dynamics for neural PDE solvers, aiming to improve long‑horizon predictions by mitigating error accumulation. By representing physical states as latent distributions and evolving them through probabilistic transitions, the method aligns learned dynamics with a spectral geometry induced by structured Gaussian perturbations. Experiments on fluid‑dynamics benchmarks show that VAMO reduces error growth and enhances rollout stability compared to deterministic and noise‑injection baselines.
