The paper proposes a continuous‑time generative framework that models time‑dependent data as evolution on a learned data manifold. By using pretrained score‑based models as geometric priors, it learns a vector field that drives data along score‑induced interpolation paths, enabling generation at arbitrary timestamps and temporal super‑resolution. The method includes a regression‑based training objective, a stability‑promoting term interpreted as denoising score matching, and a probabilistic extension for future trajectory distributions, demonstrated on natural video, PDE‑based fields, and molecular dynamics.

Variational Streaming Flow (VSF) extends the efficient Streaming Flow (SF) framework by learning a latent distribution conditioned on system dynamics, enabling probabilistic forecasting in physical time. Unlike SF’s deterministic velocity field, VSF produces multiple plausible future trajectories, improving predictive accuracy and distributional fidelity across deterministic and stochastic dynamical systems. The method supports long‑horizon rollouts over 1,000 steps, handles bifurcating dynamics, and can be integrated as a plug‑and‑play predictor into Joint‑Embedding Predictive Architecture (JEPA) world models to enhance navigation, motion planning, and manipulation tasks.

In the physical world we inhabit, space and time are fundamentally continuous. However, existing machine learning paradigms for world modeling are largely confined to discrete-time prediction, thereby exhibiting significant inefficiency in capturing the dynamics of physical world.

arXiv:2606. 11277v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Reliable extrapolation remains a central challenge for generative models in computational physics, because models trained over finite ranges of time, parameters, or geometries may produce physically inconsistent predictions outside the training distribution.
