Description

Transolver introduces "Physics-Attention" that groups mesh points into learnable slices based on similar physical states (rather than spatial proximity). Attention is applied to these physics-aware tokens, which better captures intricate physical correlations than raw mesh-point attention. Works on general geometries without requiring regular grids.

Key innovation: Instead of attending over all mesh points (quadratic cost), it learns to partition the domain into a small number of physically meaningful slices and operates on those.
