• AE-2: Embodiment: Modeling output-input contingencies and using the model in perception or controlconcept0.783
  Indicator of embodiment requiring forward models used for perception or motor control.
• AE-2: Embodiment: Modeling output-input contingencies, including systematic effects, and using this model in perception or controlconcept0.780
  Embodiment indicator; systems meeting AE-2 likely but not guaranteed to also meet AE-1
• The correct level of agency for a system is an empirical question determined by which intervention strategy provides the most efficient prediction and control.claim0.772
  Central methodological claim of TAME: optimal position on the persuadability continuum is found through experiments, not philosophical definition.
• Reinforcement learning is sufficient for agency.claim0.767
  Argument that RL meets the agency indicator.
• Certain kinds of information structures actively facilitate their own transformation and remapping, exhibiting minimal agency.hypothesis0.765
  Speculative hypothesis that memories themselves are agents.
• The relative amount of energy or effort used in an intervention compared to the change in a system's behavior formalizes the distinction between purely mechanical control and high-level agency.claim0.762
  Proposed formalization of the spectrum from mechanical to cognitive control via energy-efficiency of intervention
• acting to optimize value and perception are two aspects of exactly the same principle; namely the minimisation of a quantity [free energy] that bounds the probability of sensory input, given a particular agent or phenotype.quote0.756
  Concise statement of the free-energy principle's unification of action and perception.
