Flow explained in one Manim animation: trajectory, vector field, ODE
ariG23498 · x · 2026-09-09
- Engineer ariG23498 published a Manim animation (built with Claude's help) explaining flow in diffusion/flow matching.
- He breaks the concept into four layers: trajectory (time→space map), vector field (time & space→velocity), the ODE linking field and trajectory, and flow as a family of trajectories from many starting points.
- He offers to share intermediate animations of the trajectory and field on request.
