A Worked Example of the Bayesian Mechanics of Classical Objects
arXiv:2206.12996 · doi:10.1007/978-3-031-28719-0_21
Abstract
Bayesian mechanics is a new approach to studying the mathematics and physics of interacting stochastic processes. Here, we provide a worked example of a physical mechanics for classical objects, which derives from a simple application thereof. We summarise the current state of the art of Bayesian mechanics in doing so. We also give a sketch of its connections to classical chaos, owing to a particular supersymmetry.
