A new framework called temporal predictive multiplicity has been introduced to analyze how time series models with similar predictive performance can generate vastly different forecast trajectories. This research highlights that even models with near-identical accuracy can produce divergent predictions across different time horizons, a phenomenon that existing studies have largely overlooked. Experiments using 19 neural forecasting architectures across 11 datasets confirmed that this trajectory-level disagreement is significant and largely independent of disagreement at individual horizons, suggesting that identical performance metrics may mask fundamentally different underlying model behaviors.
