TermCategoryDefinition
Latent DynamicsArchitectureThe learned transition function within a latent space that predicts how hidden states evolve over time in response to actions. Latent dynamics models avoid computationally expensive pixel-level predictions by operating in compressed representation space.
Action ConditioningArchitectureA property of a world model whose predictions of future states depend explicitly on the action taken by the agent. Action-conditioned models support interactive simulation and planning, distinguishing true world models from passive video generators.
