FactorJEPA decomposes monolithic predictive futures into distinct layout, agent, and interaction channels, targeting the highly crowded and chaotic urban environments of the Global South, termed DENSEWORLD. By moving beyond the traditional lane‑structured, low‑density scenarios, the study demonstrates how Joint Embedding Predictive Architectures can better capture the complex dynamics of dense, chaotic cityscapes. The paper highlights the need for specialized modeling techniques to address the unique spatial and behavioral patterns present in these environments.
