The paper presents a supervised, scale‑shared neural architecture that learns a coarse‑graining rule for two‑dimensional site percolation. By recursively applying this rule, the model generates a latent field from which the crossing probability is predicted and a fine‑graining decoder reconstructs the largest‑cluster mask. Trained only on small lattices, the network extrapolates to larger systems, accurately recovers the spanning cluster, and reproduces finite‑size scaling near the critical point, demonstrating that the latent representation captures critical fluctuations and scale‑dependent flows consistent with renormalization‑group theory.

The paper introduces a supervised, scale‑shared neural architecture for two‑dimensional site percolation, implementing a neural renormalization group flow. The model recursively applies a learned coarse‑graining rule across scales, producing a latent field that predicts crossing probability and a fine‑graining decoder that reconstructs the largest‑cluster mask. Trained only on small lattices, it extrapolates to larger systems, accurately recovers the spanning cluster, and yields observables that follow expected finite‑size scaling near the critical point, highlighting the importance of critical fluctuations in the latent representation.
