GEOPHYS: The Geometry of Physical Plausibility

arXiv:2606.20707v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: While humans can identify physically implausible events within milliseconds, machine learning approaches addressing the same problem are extremely slow and expensive. They either rely on external multimodal-LLM judges or require ad-hoc modifications to the training procedure. In this work, we argue that indicators of physical plausibility are implicitly captured by five geometric properties of the per-frame embeddings produced by frozen image encod...
