arXiv:2606.28394v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The physical anastylosis of collapsed architectural monuments -- the meticulous reassembly of fallen stone elements into their original structural configuration -- represents one of the most intellectually demanding challenges in conservation science. Traditional approaches depend heavily on expert archaeologist judgement and manual block-by-block correspondence, a process that is both labour-intensive and inherently subjective. Inspired by the combinatorial complexity of this problem as manifested in the game of Jenga, we present Jenga Inverse Predictor , a GPU-accelerated deep learning framework that addresses structural anastylosis as an inverse prediction task. Given an image of a collapsed block assembly, JIP-2 reconstructs the most probable prior tower configuration by: (1) implementing a complete rigid-body physics engine with OBB/SAT collision detection and a Projected Gauss-Seidel (PGS) contact solver accelerated with Numba JIT and CuPy CUDA; (2) applying the analytical force thresholds of Ziglar (CMU, 2006) -- F_app = 3mu_smg (Y-axis, torque-free) and F_app = 4mu_smg (X-axis, torque risk) -- over three friction levels (mu_s in {0.25, 0.40, 0.60}) across 450 simulated episodes; (3) training a dual-stream ResNet-18 that injects a friction one-hot vector and jointly predicts block removal count, per-position removal probabilities, centre-of-mass imbalance, and Ziglar torque risk; and (4) generating a smooth 3-D video of the block-by-block reverse reconstruction. We discuss implications for computer-assisted anastylosis at the UNESCO Maya site of Uxmal, Yucatan, and provide a detailed technical description of the full pipeline, architecture, and loss formulation.
