Embodied Inference

Process by which organism's material states and internal dynamics realize variational inference through action

Neighborhood — ranked by edge-count

framework

Active Inference
implements
Foundational framework by Karl Friston; the paper extends it to three hierarchical levels for modeling meta-awareness.

concept

Recognition Density
associated_with
Approximate posterior probability distribution embodied in organism's internal states; organism's best guess about causes of sensations

cosine ≥ 0.65 · no typed edge

Entities in the same semantic neighborhood but without a typed relation to this one — candidates for new edges or unrecognized duplicates.

Embodied cognitionframework0.814
Framework treating cognition as inseparable from bodily organization and environmental interaction; aligned with biogenic approach.
perceptual inferenceconcept0.800
The process of inferring causes of sensory inputs, a key aspect of the free-energy minimization scheme.
Empathic Active Inferenceframework0.798
Matsumura et al.'s extension of active inference to include others' welfare in the generative model
inference of sentienceconcept0.797
Attributing subjective experience based on observable embodied behaviours.
Embodied AIconcept0.795
Emerging approach to run deep learning algorithms on autonomous robots and evolve robot bodies directly.
Embodied Meaningconcept0.790
Intentions and meanings are grounded in recurrent neural network dynamics; semantic space is embodied in brain topology.
Embodied Mindconcept0.787
Philosophical position that minds are dependent on plastic material substrates that change during lifetime and evolution.
Stages of Inferenceframework0.783
The perspective that LLM inference decomposes into distinct computational stages, which the paper extends to looped models
