arXiv:2506.22304v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Continuous Normalizing Flows (CNFs) enable elegant generative modeling but remain bottlenecked by their iterative nature requiring costly sampling and lacking interpretability of the intermediate states. Recent approaches accelerate sampling by straightening trajectories or distilling endpoints, yet they treat the original generative process as a black box, discarding the teacher's intermediate dynamics. We propose a fundamentally different perspective: globally linearizing flow dynamics via Koopman theory to achieve trajectory-preserving lin
