- Equivalence claim between prior removal and emptiness.
- Explains why the boundary appears fixed: the prior hides its context-dependent nature.
- The paper argues for a mathematical link.
- Bayesian model reduction removes the structural partition prior once evidence shows it is unnecessary, yielding a post-dual agent.
- Ego removal as a necessary condition for not-separate creation.
- The structural prior conceals the fact that the boundary is contextual, making it appear fixed and real.
- The key novel contribution: an internal model that learns the density of familiar multisensory experiences and drives mark-removal behavior through mismatch with the free energy principle
- Characteristic of a structure-preserving process.
