Applications of a Dual-Path Implicit Physics Engine: Practical Extensions Beyond Physical Prediction

Abstract

Supplement to Riggleman (2026). The dual-path implicit physics engine evaluates scenarios through independent text and visual channels, treating disagreement as a signal. This supplement describes practical applications of that mechanism: robotics planning, hallucination detection in language models, scientific hypothesis exploration, and self-generating benchmark dataset creation. Each application traces to a specific architectural property. These are proposed research directions, not validated results.
