Geometry of Geophysical Knowledge in TerraMind's Latent Space

Explainable Machine Learning 2025/2026, University of Warsaw

Findings

• TM-011Spatial coherence of latent feature planes increases with encoder depth
• TM-012Longitude and time-of-year planes become circular in deeper encoder blocks
• TM-013Intervening on the altitude plane raises generated terrain by almost 500 metres
• TM-014Per-edge latent distance along shortest paths spikes at physical barriers
