Physics is the Best Teacher: Consistency Learning for Time-Invariant Operators of Chaotic Dynamics

arXiv机器学习 2026-10-03 06:27 3 阅读 查看原文

Accelerating the prediction of long-term behavior in chaotic systems is crucial in scientific computing.

However, existing methods rely on numerical solvers or autoregressive models that advance one small step at a time, which makes long horizons expensive.

We instead view this problem as learning the system's time-invariant evolution operator, which jumps the state across a large time span in a single evaluation.

To this end, we derive the consistency equations a time-invariant operator must satisfy, with differential and compositional objectives in physical time.

These equations also connect the learned operator to the physics-prescribed instant dynamics, enabling physics embedding in consistency learning.

Across five chaotic systems, we find that physics-distilled consistency makes both short-term trajectories and long-term statistics more accurate.

The learned operator survives temporal extrapolation and requires one-tenth as many evaluations as autoregressive rollout, offering an efficient route to long-term simulation of chaotic dynamics.
