• Minimising expected free energy ensures preferred outcomes are realised, thereby avoiding surprise on average.claim0.860
  How expected free energy links to survival.
• Expected Free Energy Minimizationmethod0.847
  Minimizing expected free energy for planning, decision-making, and action selection.
• Minimising expected free energy specifies the optimal balance between goal-seeking and itinerant novelty-seeking behaviour.claim0.829
  Describes the exploitation-exploration trade-off.
• Expected free energy scores each possible course of action in terms of its ability to reach the range of preferred states of being.claim0.820
  Definitional claim from Section 2.
• "A system can minimize free-energy by changing its configuration to change the way it samples the environment, or to change its expectations. These changes correspond to action and perception respectively."concept0.814
  Load-bearing definition of how action and perception implement free energy minimization.
• Expected free energy decomposes into risk (exploitation) and ambiguity (exploration) terms, providing optimal balance between goal-seeking and novelty-seeking.claim0.803
  Key insight into structure of decision-making; explains intrinsic motivation and curiosity.
• The expected free energy can be unpacked in terms of risk and ambiguity.claim0.800
  A key decomposition presented in Section 7.
• Free energy minimisation is asymptotically equivalent to the Principle of Unitarity, driving agent and environment toward dissolution of separabilityclaim0.799
  Remarkable convergence result showing optimal modelling erodes the distinction the modeller imposed
