ChronoAgentic: A Code-based Multi-Agent World Simulator for Physically Grounded Simulation Construction

arXiv:2605. 14398v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Video-based world models generate visually plausible rollouts, but since they infer dynamics in latent states, they enforce no explicit physical constraints: contacts drift, shapes distort, and motion loses consistency.
