The utilitarian brain: Moving beyond the Free Energy Principle

open access: yesCortex
The Free Energy Principle (FEP) is a normative computational framework for iterativereduction of prediction error and uncertainty through perceptioneintervention cycles thathas been presented as a potential unifying theory of all brain functions (Friston, 2006).

Zero energy homes: Combining energy efficiency and solar energy technologies

open access: yes, 2000
In a typical Florida house, air-conditioning accounts for about 35% of all the electricity the home uses. As the largest single source of energy consumption in Florida, a home's air-conditioning load represents the biggest energy challenge facing Florida

Constructivism, Direct Instruction and the Free-energy optimization principle: A student’s integrative cognitive perspective on learning

open access: yesCanadian Journal for New Scholars in Education, 2014
Constructivist instruction favours learning strategies that emphasize student independence (Bodner, 1986; Murphy, 1997). It suggests that limiting direct guidance and increasing constructed thinking through a student-centered approach will maximize ...

Critique of the "Free Energy Principle" of Consciousness

open access: yesChemical & Pharmaceutical Research
How does the viable brain transmute caloric energy into consciousness manifest as emotive memory? Apparently, the laws of physics and thermodynamics don't apply. Here, we summarize and comment on a series of 4 articles published by Friston et al. which purports to rationalize the Free Energy concept applied to sentient consciousness. They suggest that

A free energy principle for a particular physics

open access: yes, 2019
This monograph attempts a theory of every 'thing' that can be distinguished from other things in a statistical sense. The ensuing statistical independencies, mediated by Markov blankets, speak to a recursive composition of ensembles (of things) at increasingly higher spatiotemporal scales. This decomposition provides a description of small things; e.g.,
