• Free Energy Bound on Surpriseconcept0.756
  Mathematical quantity representing lower bound on probability of sensory input; minimized by both action and perception.
• The expected free energy can be unpacked in terms of risk and ambiguity.claim0.748
  A key decomposition presented in Section 7.
• Minimising expected free energy ensures preferred outcomes are realised, thereby avoiding surprise on average.claim0.740
  How expected free energy links to survival.
• Emotional valence identified with the negative rate of change of free energy, a signed quantity in which decreasing free energy yields positive valencefinding0.739
  Antecedent proposal within the FEP framework that shares the signed-error identification with the present thesis
• The variational free energy is an upper bound on surprise.claim0.730
  Key mathematical property linking free energy to surprise minimization.
• Expected free energy decomposes into risk (exploitation) and ambiguity (exploration) terms, providing optimal balance between goal-seeking and novelty-seeking.claim0.729
  Key insight into structure of decision-making; explains intrinsic motivation and curiosity.
• Minimising expected free energy specifies the optimal balance between goal-seeking and itinerant novelty-seeking behaviour.claim0.725
  Describes the exploitation-exploration trade-off.
• Ambiguity (Expected Free Energy)concept0.724
  Expected entropy of outcomes given states; resolved by selecting states that yield unambiguous outcomes.
