ArXi:2605.00896v1 Announce Type: cross Operational phase unwrapping is the primary computational bottleneck in InSAR-based volcanic and seismic monitoring. We challenge the industry trend of adopting high-complexity computer vision architectures, such as attention mechanisms, without validating their suitability for physics-constrained geophysical regression. We present the first large-scale architectural ablation study on a global LiCSAR benchmark (20 frames, 39,724 patches, 651M pixels
