Researchers have developed a new diagnostic framework called Constrained Diffusion Decomposition (CDD) to evaluate how well generative AI models understand complex physical systems. This method uses scale-aware modifications to test if models internalize physical laws or just statistical correlations. When applied to a Denoising Diffusion Probabilistic Model (DDPM), the framework revealed that the model struggles with cross-scale continuity and exhibits instability when exposed to physically plausible but unseen states.
