Natural language syntax complies with the free-energy principle. [PDF]
Synthese, 2021 Natural language syntax yields an unbounded array of hierarchically structured expressions. We claim that these are used in the service of active inference in accord with the free-energy principle (FEP). While conceptual advances alongside modelling and simulation work have attempted to connect speech segmentation and linguistic communication with the ...

Philosophies, 2021 A weak version of the life-mind continuity thesis entails that every living system also has a basic mind (with a non-representational form of intentionality).

First principles in the life sciences: The free-energy principle, organicism, and mechanism [PDF]
, 2017 The free-energy principle claims that biological systems behave adaptively maintaining their physical integrity only if they minimize the free energy of their sensory states.

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 ...

Thermodynamic Study of H2-FeO Based on the Principle of Minimum Gibbs Free Energy
Metals, 2023 Studies have shown that the reduction of wustite is the limiting factor in the ironmaking process, whether in hydrogen-based shaft furnaces, hydrogen-rich blast furnaces or smelting reduction vessels.

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 ...
