  1. It comes with two appendices: the first on "the Limitations of Mathematical Modeling."

    This one is quite interesting in its own right, including a take down of the claim that the #FreeEnergyPrinciple #FEP models life, which it just simply doesn't.

  2. Anyone here got the knowledge, time and energy to compare and contrast #Cybernetics and #Friston's #FreeEnergyPrinciple?

  3. Self-organization of neurons explained using a mathematical theory

    news-medical.net/news/20230808

    > An international collaboration between researchers at the RIKEN Center for Brain Science (CBS) in Japan, the University of Tokyo, and University College London has demonstrated that self-organization of neurons as they "learn" follows a mathematical theory called the free energy principle.

  4. #KarlFriston and gang are at it again. They are formalising the notion of intelligence as "as the capacity to accumulate evidence for a generative model of one’s sensed world". In a #reinforcementlearning postulation the reward function is formulated as the need to maximize the evidence for
    the agent's own generative model aka it's continued existence

  5. Theories of systems and agents focus on mathematical frameworks providing formal #definitions of #systems and #agents that can take into account different features of #biological, #cognitive and #artificial systems, Some examples include: #freeenergyprinciple, #IIT and recent ideas formalised using #categorytheory.

  6. #Introduction time.

    TL;dr: maths to formally study #agents, #worldmodels and #representations

    I'm currently a Chief Researcher at Araya, a Tokyo based startup with the goal to understand (artificial) #consciousness.

    My work focuses on general principles for the #origins of #agency, #life and #cognition. I previously used the #freeenergyprinciple (+ #activeinference) as my main framework, but I'm now looking into other directions, mostly using #categorytheory applied to #systemstheory.
