Process by which neuronal dynamics minimize free energy; produces empirically observable neural phenomena.

Active Inference
associated_with
Foundational framework by Karl Friston; the paper extends it to three hierarchical levels for modeling meta-awareness.

cosine ≥ 0.65 · no typed edge

Entities in the same semantic neighborhood but without a typed relation to this one — candidates for new edges or unrecognized duplicates.
