• If the minimization of free energy is just a corollary of descent onto a global random attractor, does this mean that adaptation and evolution are just ways of describing the same thing?question0.802
  Question about the relationship between adaptation, evolution, and free energy minimization.
• Coherence Maximizationconcept0.799
  The functional role consciousness plays: minimizing constraint violations between simultaneously active partial models of reality
• Coherence maximization across simultaneously active mental models is related to prediction error minimization in the FEP, but the relationship is one of compatibility rather than strict equivalenceclaim0.798
  CIMC's position on the relationship between its coherence hypothesis and Friston's FEP
• "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."concept0.782
  Load-bearing definition of how action and perception implement free energy minimization.
• Expected Free Energy Minimizationmethod0.782
  Minimizing expected free energy for planning, decision-making, and action selection.
• Curiosity, insight, decision-making, and diverse phenomena can all be accommodated by a single imperative: minimization of expected free energy (resolution of uncertainty).claim0.775
  Central thesis of the paper unifying cognitive phenomena under one objective function
• Expected free energy decomposes into risk (exploitation) and ambiguity (exploration) terms, providing optimal balance between goal-seeking and novelty-seeking.claim0.774
  Key insight into structure of decision-making; explains intrinsic motivation and curiosity.
• The most likely (i.e., best) policies minimise expected free energy.claim0.769
  Decision-making rule in active inference.
