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).

The anticipating brain is not a scientist: the free-energy principle from an ecological-enactive perspective. [PDF]
Synthese, 2018 In this paper, we argue for a theoretical separation of the free-energy principle from Helmholtzian accounts of the predictive brain. The free-energy principle is a theoretical framework capturing the imperative for biological self-organization in ...

Reinforcement learning or active inference? [PDF]
, 2009 This paper questions the need for reinforcement learning or control theory when optimising behaviour. We show that it is fairly simple to teach an agent complicated and adaptive behaviours using a free-energy formulation of perception.

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 ...

First principles in the life sciences: the free-energy principle, organicism, and mechanism [PDF]
, 2021 The free-energy principle states that all systems that minimize their free energy resist a tendency to physical disintegration. Originally proposed to account for perception, learning, and action, the free-energy principle has been applied to the ...

Reinforced Imitation Learning by Free Energy Principle
CoRR, 2021 Reinforcement Learning (RL) requires a large amount of exploration especially in sparse-reward settings. Imitation Learning (IL) can learn from expert demonstrations without exploration, but it never exceeds the expert's performance and is also vulnerable to distributional shift between demonstration and execution.

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.
