EcoNet: Multiagent Planning and Control Of Household Energy Resources Using Active Inference
John C. Boik, Kobus Esterhuysen, Jacqueline B. Hynes +5
Advances in automated systems afford new opportunities for intelligent management of energy at household, local area, and utility scales. Home Energy Management Systems (HEMS) can…
Normative active inference: A numerical proof of principle for a computational and economic legal analytic approach to AI governance
Axel Constant, Mahault Albarracin, Karl J. Friston
This paper presents a computational account of how legal norms can influence the behavior of artificial intelligence (AI) agents, grounded in the active inference framework (AIF) t…
On the Variational Costs of Changing Our Minds
David Hyland, Mahault Albarracin
The human mind is capable of extraordinary achievements, yet it often appears to work against itself. It actively defends its cherished beliefs even in the face of contradictory ev…
Resilience and adaptability in self-evidencing systems
Mahault Albarracin, Dalton A R Sakthivadivel
In this paper we will articulate a view of resilience under the free energy principle and vice versa. The free energy principle is about existence and identity, and resilience is t…
Geometric Hyperscanning of Affect under Active Inference
Nicolas Hinrichs, Mahault Albarracin, Dimitris Bolis +3
Second-person neuroscience holds social cognition as embodied meaning co-regulation through reciprocal interaction, modeled here as coupled active inference with affect emerging as…
A Computational Model of Inclusive Pedagogy: From Understanding to Application
Francesco Balzan, Pedro P. Santos, Maurizio Gabbrielli +2
Human education transcends mere knowledge transfer, it relies on co-adaptation dynamics -- the mutual adjustment of teaching and learning strategies between agents. Despite its cen…
The Physics and Metaphysics of Social Powers: Bridging Cognitive Processing and Social Dynamics, a New Perspective on Power through Active Inference
Mahault Albarracin, Sonia de Jager, David Hyland +1
The concept of power can be explored at several scales: from physical action and process effectuation, all the way to complex social dynamics. A spectrum-wide analysis of power req…
