Temporal Lifting as Latent-Space Regularization for Continuous-Time Flow Models in AI Systems

Abstract

We present a latent-space formulation of adaptive temporal lifting for continuous-time dynamical systems. The method introduces a smooth monotone mapping $t\mapsto \ddot{I}„(t)$ that regularizes near-singular behavior of the underlying flow while preserving its conservation laws. In the lifted coordinate, trajectories such as those of the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations on the torus ${\mathbb{T}}^3$ become globally smooth. From the standpoint of machine-learning dynamics, temporal lifting acts as a continuous-time normalization operator that can stabilize physics-informed neural networks and other latent-flow architectures used in AI systems. The framework links analytic regularity theory with representation-learning methods for stiff or turbulent processes.
