• Mach's principleconcept0.765
  The idea that gravitational constant is a function of all matter in the universe; cited as an example of wholeness in cosmology.
• Duality Principleconcept0.761
  Any statement about a poset P yields a dual statement about P^∂ by interchanging ≤ and ≥; permits proof of one statement to establish its dual.
• Occam's Principleconcept0.755
  Principle that simpler models generalizing evidence are preferred; implemented via complexity minimization in free energy
• Free Energy Principleframework0.753
  A foundational variational principle from statistical physics that formalizes how self-organizing systems maintain structural integrity and adapt to their environment by minimizing free energy—a mathematical bound on surprise or prediction error. Originally developed by Karl Friston, the framework unifies action, perception, and learning as processes of active inference, where systems both update internal models of the world and act upon it to reduce the divergence between predictions and observations.
• Maximum Entropy Principleframework0.746
  Jaynes' principle that systems maximize entropy under constraints.
• feeling-symmetry principleconcept0.741
  The design criterion that among possible new local symmetries, one introduces the symmetry that most intensifies the feeling of the whole.
• Contravariance Principleconcept0.737
  Cao & Yamins principle: solution set for an easy goal is large, for a challenging goal comparatively smaller; cited as theoretical basis for multitask scaling hypothesis
• Precautionary Principleframework0.734
  Decision principle emphasizing caution under uncertainty; mentioned as term of art and in ordinary sense.
