How Not to Argue about the Compatibility of Predictive Processing and 4E Cognition [PDF]
Organon F, 2021 In theories of cognition, 4E approaches to cognition are seen to refrain from employing robust representations in contrast to Predictive Process, where such posits are utilized extensively.

The Energy Homeostasis Principle: A Naturalistic Approach to Explain the Emergence of Behavior
Frontiers in Systems Neuroscience, 2022 It is still elusive to explain the emergence of behavior and understanding based on its neural mechanisms. One renowned proposal is the Free Energy Principle (FEP), which uses an information-theoretic framework derived from thermodynamic considerations ...

How to entrain your evil demon [PDF]
, 2017 The notion that the brain is a prediction error minimizer entails, via the notion of Markov blankets and self-evidencing, a form of global scepticism — an inability to rule out evil demon scenarios.

Comments on F-maximization and R-symmetry in 3D SCFTs [PDF]
, 2011 We report preliminary results on the recently proposed F-maximization principle in 3D SCFTs. We compute numerically in the large-N limit the free energy on the three-sphere of an N=2 Chern-Simons-Matter theory with a single adjoint chiral superfield ...

Functional treatment of quantum scattering via the dynamical principle [PDF]
, 2006 A careful functional treatment of quantum scattering is given using Schwinger's dynamical principle which involves a functional differentiation operation applied to a generating functional written in closed form.

Predictive coding under the free-energy principle [PDF]
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2009 This paper considers prediction and perceptual categorization as an inference problem that is solved by the brain. We assume that the brain models the world as a hierarchy or cascade of dynamical systems that encode causal structure in the sensorium. Perception is equated with the optimization or inversion of these internal models, to explain sensory ...

Is the free-energy principle neurocentric? [PDF]
Nature Reviews Neuroscience, 2010 Recently, a free-energy formulation of brain function was reviewed in relation to several other neurobiological theories (The freeenergy principle: a unified brain theory? Nature Rev. Neurosci. 11, 127–138 (2010))1. Fiorillo raises some interesting questions about the formulation from a neurocentric perspective (A neurocentric approach to Bayesian ...

Replicated Bethe Free Energy: A Variational Principle behind Survey Propagation
, 2005 A scheme to provide various mean-field-type approximation algorithms is presented by employing the Bethe free energy formalism to a family of replicated systems in conjunction with analytical continuation with respect to the number of replicas.
