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…
