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.

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

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).

Formalizing Lacanian psychoanalysis through the free energy principle [PDF]
Frontiers in PsychologyThis 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.

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,

The Problem of Meaning: The Free Energy Principle and Artificial Agency [PDF]
Frontiers in Neurorobotics, 2022 Biological agents can act in ways that express a sensitivity to context-dependent relevance. So far it has proven difficult to engineer this capacity for context-dependent sensitivity to relevance in artificial agents. We give this problem the label the “

Keeping the Breath in Mind: Respiration, Neural Oscillations, and the Free Energy Principle [PDF]
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2021 Scientific interest in the brain and body interactions has been surging in recent years. One fundamental yet underexplored aspect of brain and body interactions is the link between the respiratory and the nervous systems.

Is the Free-Energy Principle a Formal Theory of Semantics? From Variational Density Dynamics to Neural and Phenotypic Representations [PDF]
Entropy, 2020 The aim of this paper is twofold: (1) to assess whether the construct of neural representations plays an explanatory role under the variational free-energy principle and its corollary process theory, active inference; and (2) if so, to assess which ...
