From RSSM to imagination, understand how Dreamer trains policies inside an internal world.
Wrap-up: split the config into architecture vs. training tables, compress RSSM into four core formulas, present the code↔math↔semantics mapping table, …
Future simulation without observation: the full imagine loop, the essential difference between Observe and Imagine, why imagination cannot be …
The core of training the world model: the complete Observe-phase data flow, the gradient routing of dyn/rep KLs, free_nats as a loss floor, and how …
Trace the real deterministic dynamics: how _core() does one-step transition, why deter is 8192, the block-wise parameterization of Block GRU, and what …
Translate the code into math with correct time indexing; understand the prior/posterior pair, straight-through categorical sampling, and how unimix …
Series opener: where RSSM fits in DreamerV3, why the stochastic state is not 'an integer then one-hot', and how real observations enter RSSM (the …
