The inner screen model of consciousness: applying the free energy principle directly to the study of conscious experience
Maxwell J. D. Ramstead, Mahault Albarracin, Alex Kiefer +4
This paper presents a model of consciousness that follows directly from the free-energy principle (FEP). We first rehearse the classical and quantum formulations of the FEP. In par…
Separability, Contextuality, and the Quantum Frame Problem
Chris Fields, James F. Glazebrook
We study the relationship between assumptions of state separability and both preparation and measurement contextuality, and the relationship of both of these to the frame problem,…
Communication protocols and QECCs from the perspective of TQFT, Part I: Constructing LOCC protocols and QECCs from TQFTs
Chris Fields, James F. Glazebrook, Antonino Marciano
Topological quantum field theories (TQFTs) provide a general, minimal-assumption language for describing quantum-state preparation and measurement. They therefore provide a general…
Control flow in active inference systems
Chris Fields, Filippo Fabrocini, Karl Friston +4
Living systems face both environmental complexity and limited access to free-energy resources. Survival under these conditions requires a control system that can activate, or deplo…
The physical meaning of the holographic principle
Chris Fields, James F. Glazebrook, Antonino Marciano
We show in this pedagogical review that far from being "an apparent law of physics that stands by itself" (R. Bousso, Rev. Mod. Phys. 74 (2002), 825-874), the holographic principle…
The Free Energy Principle drives neuromorphic development
Chris Fields, Karl Friston, James F. Glazebrook +2
We show how any system with morphological degrees of freedom and locally limited free energy will, under the constraints of the free energy principle, evolve toward a neuromorphic…
