Noûs, Volume 60, Issue 1, Page 87-109, March 2026.Abstract The popular predictive processing (PP) framework posits prediction error minimization (PEM) as the sole mechanism in the brain that can account for all mental phenomena, including consciousness.

How to Think About Tacit (or Implicit) Beliefs
Philosophy and Phenomenological Research, Volume 112, Issue 2, Page 335-345, March 2026.ABSTRACT This paper defends a novel theory of tacit belief (sometimes called “implicit belief”).
