Designing Ecosystems of Intelligence from First Principles
Karl J Friston, Maxwell J D Ramstead, Alex B Kiefer +17
This white paper lays out a vision of research and development in the field of artificial intelligence for the next decade (and beyond). Its denouement is a cyber-physical ecosyste…
Path integrals, particular kinds, and strange things
Karl Friston, Lancelot Da Costa, Dalton A. R. Sakthivadivel +4
This paper describes a path integral formulation of the free energy principle. The ensuing account expresses the paths or trajectories that a particle takes as it evolves over time…
One person's modus ponens...: Comment on "The Markov blanket trick: On the scope of the free energy principle and active inference" by Raja and colleagues (2021)
Maxwell J. D Ramstead
In this comment on "The Markov blanket trick: On the scope of the free energy principle and active inference" by Raja and colleagues (2021) in Physics of Life Reviews, I argue that…
Mapping Husserlian phenomenology onto active inference
Mahault Albarracin, Riddhi J. Pitliya, Maxwell J. D. Ramstead +1
Phenomenology is the rigorous descriptive study of conscious experience. Recent attempts to formalize Husserlian phenomenology provide us with a mathematical model of perception as…
On the map-territory fallacy fallacy
Maxwell J D Ramstead, Dalton A R Sakthivadivel, Karl J Friston
This paper presents a meta-theory of the usage of the free energy principle (FEP) and examines its scope in the modelling of physical systems. We consider the so-called `map-territ…
On Bayesian Mechanics: A Physics of and by Beliefs
Maxwell J. D. Ramstead, Dalton A. R. Sakthivadivel, Conor Heins +5
The aim of this paper is to introduce a field of study that has emerged over the last decade called Bayesian mechanics. Bayesian mechanics is a probabilistic mechanics, comprising…
