  • Pain-Belief
    associated_with
    The latent state inferred by the agent representing its belief about being in pain, used as exploration signal
  • The property of the pain-belief signal that adapts to environmental changes rather than providing a fixed exploration bonus

  • The biological inspiration for the paper's introspective signal; pain encodes internal evaluations guiding agents through environments
  • Value derived from information gain; comprises salience and novelty.
  • Value Learningconcept0.710
    Field of research integrating reward learning and optimization; shown to be unified with perceptual learning via free energy principle.
  • Reflection level where a model spontaneously revises reasoning without explicit trigger instructions.
  • Learningconcept0.700
    Inference of parameters encoding contingencies of the world (e.g., likelihood matrix A) at slower timescale than perception.
  • The paper's own framework identifying signed evaluative computation with phenomenal valence in learning systems
  • The drive to explore arising from epistemic value, independent of extrinsic reward, naturally emerging in active inference.
  • Process of inferring causes of sensory information; unified with value learning as integral aspects of free energy minimization.
