大模型在无物理训练下自发学习能量等物理概念，解释其推理机制。

In-context learning (ICL) lets large language models (LLMs) solve new tasks from prompts alone, across an ever-widening range of domains, yet the mechanisms underlying this ability remain poorly understood. Physical systems offer a controlled testbed for this question as they provide experimentally controllable data with structured dynamics grounded in fundamental principles. Here we study the ICL ability of LLMs, focusing on physical reasoning. Using dynamics forecasting as a proxy task, we first show that LLMs forecast physical dynamics in context, with accuracy improving as more history is provided. Analyzing the model's residual stream reveals internal activations that correlate with key physical quantities such as energy. These correlations strengthen gradually with context length, indicating that LLMs spontaneously form representations aligned with physical concepts without any physics-specific supervision. To assess whether these representations contribute to the model's predictions, we introduce a layer-wise gradient-based attribution analysis. We find that, residual directions more strongly correlated with energy also receive greater attribution to numerical predictions. This pattern is not observed for features correlated with directly observed quantities such as displacement, suggesting that the energy-related signal is not merely numerical information copied from the input. Our results broaden ICL analysis to structured physical dynamics and give a mechanistic account of how LLMs organize physical structure in context.
