This paper demonstrates that a transformer neural network, initially designed for natural language processing, can effectively learn the dynamic rules of a stochastic system by observing a single trajectory. The network accurately predicts emergent behavior under conditions unseen during training. Using a lattice model of active matter, the transformer learns the dynamics without explicit rate enumeration or configuration space coarse-graining, making it applicable to complex systems.
