• Maximum Entropy Principleframework0.818
  Jaynes' principle that systems maximize entropy under constraints.
• equilibriumconcept0.817
  A state of balance among forces, creating an appearance of stasis; can be symmetrical or dynamic.
• Nonequilibrium Thermodynamicsconcept0.806
  Theoretical framework governing far-from-equilibrium self-organizing systems; underpins model of action formation.
• stochastic thermodynamicsframework0.797
  Framework for non-equilibrium free energies; mentioned as future direction to generalise results
• Thermodynamic Free Energyconcept0.788
  Physical quantity sharing same minimum as variational free energy (via Jarzynski equality); proxy for computational cost
• thermodynamic limitconcept0.785
  Limit of large system size; used in scaling arguments
• Entropyconcept0.779
  A measurable physical quantity representing disorder; its increase is dictated by the second law of thermodynamics.
• Landau theory of equilibrium phase transitionsframework0.759
  Theoretical framework for phase transitions; the paper builds on its scaling approach
