Bridging the Gap Between Plausibility and Admissibility: Constraint-Aware Flow Maps for Dynamic Graph Systems

Generative models can support decision-making under uncertainty by producing ensembles of plausible future system trajectories, but statistical plausibility does not ensure structural feasibility. This study investigates whether post-sampling symbolic constraints can improve the reliability of generative trajectory modeling in dynamic graph-structured systems. A conditional diffusion model generates future graph-state trajectories from partial observations, while an external symbolic layer applies hard filtering, soft weighting, or projection-based repair. The framework is evaluated on two controlled synthetic regimes: a compact graph and a medium-complexity dependency graph, using metrics for structural validity, sample efficiency, diversity, robustness, and calibration. In the compact regime, the model produces an invalid probability mass of 0.002996, indicating an almost entirely admissible trajectory manifold. Under the same architecture and training protocol, invalid mass increases to 0.155929 in the medium-complexity regime. Hard filtering removes all invalid retained trajectories while preserving 84.4% of generated samples, whereas soft weighting preserves effective sample size but yields only limited validity gains. Family-level analysis shows that dependency constraints account for nearly all observed inadmissibility. These results indicate that statistical plausibility and structural admissibility are distinct reliability properties and that symbolic constraint handling becomes more valuable as graph-structural complexity increases.

Latent Trajectory Discrimination for AI-Generated Text Detection

Most existing approaches to AI-Generated Text Detection (AIGTD) treat documents as static objects and base their decisions on aggregate statistics or globally compressed embeddings. However, this perspective overlooks the inherently dynamic nature of autoregressive generation, where content evolves progressively through the latent space. In this paper, we reformulate AIGTD as the problem of distinguishing between latent generation trajectories. Instead of relying on static representations, we model how textual representations evolve across the sequence. To this end, we propose Geometric Trajectory and Contrastive Learning (GTCL), a framework that segments the document into ordered local units, encodes each unit in an embedding space, and constructs a structured and sequence-level representation. GTCL then applies contrastive learning to these trajectories to learn geometric regularities associated with the autoregressive generation. Evaluations performed on three different benchmarks and several approaches show that GTCL outperforms detection baselines consistently, which implies that explicitly modeling sequential dynamics provides robust discriminative signals across models and domains. These results suggest that modeling trajectory differences could improve detection and open up a dynamic direction that has been underexplored in previous AIGTD literature.
