Minimal kinematics identifies likelihood degenerations where the critical points are given by rational formulas. These rest on the Horn uniformization of Kapranov-Huh. We characterize all choices of minimal kinematics on the moduli space $\mathcal{M}_{0,n}$. These choices are motivated by the CHY model in physics and they are represented combinatorially by 2-trees. We compute 2-tree amplitudes, and we explore extensions to non-planar on-shell diagrams, here identified with the hypertrees of Castravet-Tevelev.
