Some Interesting Observations on the Free Energy Principle [PDF]

Entropy, 2021
Biehl et al. (2021) present some interesting observations on an early formulation of the free energy principle. We use these observations to scaffold a discussion of the technical arguments that underwrite the free energy principle.

A Technical Critique of Some Parts of the Free Energy Principle [PDF]

Entropy, 2021
We summarize the original formulation of the free energy principle and highlight some technical issues. We discuss how these issues affect related results involving generalised coordinates and, where appropriate, mention consequences for and reveal, up ...

The Free Energy Principle for Perception and Action: A Deep Learning Perspective [PDF]

Entropy, 2022
The free energy principle, and its corollary active inference, constitute a bio-inspired theory that assumes biological agents act to remain in a restricted set of preferred states of the world, i.e., they minimize their free energy. Under this principle,

Applying the Free Energy Principle to Complex Adaptive Systems [PDF]

Entropy, 2022
The free energy principle (FEP) is a formulation of the adaptive, belief-driven behaviour of self-organizing systems that gained prominence in the early 2000s as a unified model of the brain [...]

Formalizing Lacanian psychoanalysis through the free energy principle [PDF]

Frontiers in Psychology
This study presents a computational formalization of Lacanian psychoanalysis using the framework of the free energy principle (FEP)—a theoretical framework for modeling self-organizing systems across multiple scales.

Psychoanalytic psychotherapies and the free energy principle [PDF]

Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2022
In this paper I propose a model of the fundamental components of psychoanalytic psychotherapies that I try to explicate with contemporary theories of the Bayesian brain and the Free Energy Principle (FEP).

Connecting the free energy principle with quantum cognition [PDF]

Frontiers in Neurorobotics, 2022
It appears that the free energy minimization principle conflicts with quantum cognition since the former adheres to a restricted view based on experience while the latter allows deviations from such a restricted view.

Models of the Translation Process and the Free Energy Principle [PDF]

Entropy, 2023
Translation process research (TPR) has generated a large number of models that aim at explaining human translation processes. In this paper, I suggest an extension of the monitor model to incorporate aspects of relevance theory (RT) and to adopt the free

The Free Energy Principle and Free Markets [PDF]

Entropy
We apply the free energy principle to free markets by treating the Market as a random dynamical system with an attracting set, i.e., some characteristic states.
