Summary

Predictive consistency aligned internal structures enough for cross-model stitching with limited degradation.

Varying the visual encoder produced heterogeneous DINO world models whose internal geometries became more similar as predictive capability improved. Learned maps could stitch features between models with limited performance loss, supporting transition-compatible structure in the tested family.

Why it matters

Predictive consistency aligned internal structures enough for cross-model stitching with limited degradation.

Limits and context

No additional limitation was separately recorded.

Key claims

  1. Predictive consistency aligned internal structures enough for cross-model stitching with limited degradation.
