- Post-realisation functioning of the agent.
- Foundational claim of the paper, defining self-evidencing.
- After the prior removal, the agent still minimizes surprisal but without attributing outcomes to a bounded self; grounded in structural realism.
- Central thesis of the paper.
- Pre-empts the objection that emptiness realisation dissolves the agent's ability to model reality
- Concise framing of action-perception cycle whereby agents minimize surprise through perception and action.
- Interpretation of the observation that the most capable models performed best.
- Central thesis of the paper that recognizing self as illusion expands the range of possible actions.
