We formalise the belief in separation as a structural prior over an agent's quantum reference frame (QRF) deployments, constraining all measurement frames to respect a self/environment partition.

• structural prior over QRF deployments for self/environment partitionconcept0.843
  The paper's formalization: belief in separation is a prior that constrains all measurement frame (QRF) deployments to respect a sharp self-other divide.
• quantum reference frame (QRF)concept0.806
  A frame used to describe quantum systems; the paper uses QRF deployments as the locus of the self-environment partition prior.
• Contemplative practice progressively opacifies this constraint by developing a model of the agent's own QRF dynamics, revealing the partition as a contingent modelling choice rather than a given feature of reality.claim0.794
  Mechanism of contemplative training.
• Once visible, the prior is eliminated via Bayesian model reduction resulting in a post-dual agent with unconstrained QRF deployments.claim0.778
  Formal description of the transition to post-duality.
• A purely cognitive particle has no representational basis on which to distinguish self-generated from environment-generated observations; metacognitive architecture is the prerequisite for the separation priorclaim0.777

• The separation prior sigma is a self-reinforcing prior that gains precision simply by being used, decoupled from whether its use remains optimalclaim0.769

• Any system that persists must minimise surprisal, thereby gathering evidence for its own generative model, a process known as self-evidencing.claim0.764
