Correcting a learned physical invariant improves world-model rollouts
World models can predict video without learning dynamics that they reliably preserve. We test whether a frozen DreamerV3 trained only on pendulum video learns a scalar that its own latent transition treats as approximately conserved. A label-free search recovers the same energy-like invariant across independently trained conservative models, while the same procedure finds no comparable invariant…
