Joint Embedding Predictive Architectures (JEPAs) are a promising paradigm for learning task-agnostic latent world models without visual reconstruction. However, standard JEPA training exhibits a strong inductive bias towards slow features, causing feature suppression and the collapse of latent representation. While inverse dynamics provides temporal anti-collapse, it relies on action labels and offers little incentive to embed general, unlabeled dynamics. We introduce Difference Image and Single image embedding Regularization (DISReg), a novel regularizer that builds on an inverse-dynamics-style module that predicts temporal difference image embeddings without any pixel reconstruction loss, encouraging balanced static and dynamic feature learning. DISReg consists of a static term that shapes the distribution of the image embedding and encourages slow features, and a dynamic term, which, unlike direct regularization on the embedding, imposes no constraint on the image embedding's shape or distribution and instead only incentivizes that dynamic features be present. By integrating this regularizer into a standard JEPA, we establish our new architecture, MotionJEPA. Latent probing demonstrates that MotionJEPA produces more complete representations than other methods, and our trajectory analysis shows it maintains geometrically simple latent embeddings with low curvature. We further show that MotionJEPA improves downstream planning success under static-background distractors across four environments.
