IMPLY: Physically Anchored Consistency for World-Model Rollouts

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Sep 11, 2026 · UTC

A world model asked what happens if an object is pushed at several speeds produces several futures. If the model has the object in mind, those futures agree about it: each implies the same mass and friction. The consistency checks now used to vet world-action models ask whether a model's futures agree with each other, and none of them knows any physics. We show that this is not enough, and what to do instead. IMPLY reads the physics each rollout implies by inverting a simulator and scores a set of rollouts by how well one object explains all of them, anchored to two calibration pushes the mode
