Frontier Report — Manifold-Level Motion Conditioning: Beyond Skeleton Keypoints to Somatic Texture

The dominant conditioning paradigm in human motion generation treats pose as a flat array of joint positions—an $\mathbb{R}^{3J}$ vector for $J$ joints. The convenience is obvious: keypoints are easily supervised, trivially differentiable, and require no domain knowledge of kinematics. But this repr...
