The paper introduces Physically Plausible Video Generation (PPVG), a method that generates videos consistent with physical laws by treating physical evolution as a chain of causally connected events. It employs three modules: Physics-driven Event Chain Reasoning to decompose phenomena into scene-graph events, Transition-aware Routed Keyframe Conditioning to guide keyframe synthesis for smooth transitions, and Physics-injected Contrastive Semantic Guidance to steer generation toward plausible dynamics. Experiments on multiple physics benchmarks show improved physical plausibility compared to prior approaches.

CompAdapt is a physics-consistent text-to-video generation framework that extends diffusion-based models to handle composite physical behaviors such as coupled motions, multi-stage transitions, and multi-object collisions. It translates natural language prompts into structured physical semantics, enabling end-to-end specification of motion types, temporal relations, and initial parameters. The system introduces dynamics-aware prior matching for one-shot adaptation to new physical environments and a physics-aware latent feature fusion module to enhance visual fidelity during fast, complex motion, outperforming existing physics-constrained baselines on physics-focused T2V benchmarks.
EvoWorld introduces a framework that couples a vision‑language model with a segment‑autoregressive video renderer to enable generative video models to reason about world evolution beyond visual fidelity. The system maintains an evolving account of the world, infers event consequences, and renders causally plausible outcomes even when events occur out of sight. The accompanying EvoWorld‑Data and EvoWorld‑Bench datasets provide training and evaluation for event realization, causal reactions, and revisit consistency.
Video generation models achieve high visual quality but often struggle to generate physics-aware videos. Unlike rigid-body motion, which can be described by explicit trajectories or formulas, complex deformation dynamics remain challenging to synthesize.

PhyEvolve is a multi-agent framework that improves physics-aware video generation by enhancing natural-language prompts through structured state-evolution planning. It employs three agents—a Director, a Physical Evolver, and a Composer—to ground scenes, identify physical mechanisms, and construct causally linked state transitions that guide video generation. The method works with existing generators via prompt replacement and achieves state‑of‑the‑art performance, outperforming the prior agentic baseline by an average of 7.9 percentage points on four major benchmarks.
PhyEvolve is a multi‑agent framework that improves physics‑aware video generation by enhancing natural‑language prompts through structured state‑evolution planning. It employs three agents—a Director, a Physical Evolver, and a Composer—to ground scenes, identify physical mechanisms, and construct causally linked state transitions that guide existing generators without retraining. Experiments on four major benchmarks show that PhyEvolve outperforms the prior agentic baseline by an average of 7.9 percentage points, demonstrating that explicit causal planning boosts physical consistency and state continuity in generated videos.
PhysPlan is a training‑free guidance framework that enhances video diffusion models by incorporating physical awareness through agentic physics simulation. It uses a vision‑language model to generate a Chain‑of‑Visual‑Thought representation of kinematic trajectories and 3D depth, which then drives an object‑centric test‑time optimization that isolates kinematic changes and locks the passive environment. The framework also employs Kinetic Intensity Profiling to adapt hyperparameters to varying physical deformations, and demonstrates superior performance on PhyGenBench and Physics‑IQ benchmarks compared to existing VDM baselines.
