Abstract

We present Generative Anchored Fields (GAF), a generative model that learns independent endpoint predictors, J (noise) and K (data), from any point on a linear bridge. Unlike existing approaches that use a single trajectory or score predictor, GAF is trained to recover the bridge endpoints directly via coordinate learning. The velocity field v=K-J emerges from their time-conditioned disagreement. This factorization enables Transport Algebra: algebraic operations on multiple J/K heads for compositional control. With class-specific K_n heads, GAF defines directed transport maps between a shared base noise distribution and multiple data domains, allowing controllable interpolation, multi-class composition, and semantic editing. This is achieved either directly on the predicted data coordinates (K) using Iterative Endpoint Refinement (IER), a novel sampler that achieves high-quality generation in 5-8 steps, or on the emergent velocity field (v). We achieve strong sample quality (FID 7.51 on ImageNet 256times256 and 7.27 on CelebA-HQ 256times 256, without classifier-free guidance) while treating compositional generation as an architectural primitive.
