embodied recognition of the evidencing impossibility

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

• One dimension of self-evidencing is provably impossible: evidencing the boundary that would constitute the agent as an entity separate from their environment.claim0.786
  Central thesis of the paper.
• Self-Evidencingconcept0.776
  Concise framing of action-perception cycle whereby agents minimize surprise through perception and action.
• The impossibility of self-evidence extends to any boundary the agent might posit, not only the self-environment boundaryclaim0.747
  Generalises the core result via Corollary 3.2 of Fields & Glazebrook (2023) to ground Buddhist teaching that all dharmas are empty
• Self-evidencing may continue unimpeded after this transition, grounded in structural realism about causal regularities, while the ontological commitment to a bounded self is relinquished.claim0.746
  Post-realisation functioning of the agent.
• Self-Evidencing Brainconcept0.745
  Hohwy's (2016) characterization: brain acts to maximize its own model evidence; consistent with active inference summary
• Embodied Inferenceconcept0.744
  Process by which organism's material states and internal dynamics realize variational inference through action
• Evidencing the boundary that would constitute the agent as an entity separate from their environment is provably impossible.claim0.742
  Central thesis: the self-environment cut cannot be self-evidencing.
• "For interpretability, I don't think we even have the right definitions."quote0.739
  Ian Goodfellow quote used to illustrate the pre-paradigmatic state of interpretability research
