Seeking Physics in Diffusion Noise

arXiv CS.AI

ArXi:2603.14294v1 Announce Type: cross Do video diffusion models encode signals predictive of physical plausibility? We probe intermediate denoising representations of a pretrained Diffusion Transformer (DiT) and find that physically plausible and implausible videos are partially separable in mid-layer feature space across noise levels. This separability cannot be fully attributed to visual quality or generator identity, suggesting recoverable physics-related cues in frozen DiT features. Leveraging this observation, we.
