The Field Knows: Cross-Dimensional Geometry from Navigation to Black Holes
摘要
arXiv:2608.07566v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We introduce a continuous metric field framework trained by a single causal contrastive loss. The framework encodes a scene into coefficients of a fixed symmetric matrix basis, assembles them into a Lie algebra element, and exponentiates the result to a Riemannian or Lorentzian metric. Across dimensions, this field discovers the full spectrum of geometric structures: from obstacle-avoiding geodesics in robot navigation across planar and manipulator configuration spaces, to event horizons of black holes in Lorentzian spacetime. Extensive zero-shot generalization studies demonstrate that the field captures transferable geometric structure rather than memorizing specific configurations. In the black hole setting, the causal loss spontaneously evolves genuine black-hole-like structures with the correct Lorentzian signature. The same loss, the same architecture, and the same training protocol produce the full range of geometric phenomena across dimensions. The field knows geometry, and geometry knows physics.
