- Definitional claim from Section 2.
- Key insight into structure of decision-making; explains intrinsic motivation and curiosity.
- A key decomposition presented in Section 7.
- Expected entropy of outcomes given states; resolved by selecting states that yield unambiguous outcomes.
- KL divergence between predicted and preferred final states or outcomes.
- How expected free energy links to survival.
- Describes the exploitation-exploration trade-off.
- Any system that exists will appear to minimize free energy and therefore engage in active inference.claim0.768The reworked argument that free energy minimization is a corollary of existence, not a prerequisite.
