- The primary source paper proposing four contemplative principles for AI alignment and piloting them empirically
- Boundless CaresupportsFourth contemplative principle; universal orientation toward reducing suffering motivating AI benevolence
- Hyper Generative-Modelassociated_withGlobally-acting model that recursively monitors and updates how all inference layers interact; substrate of epistemic depth
Claims (1)
claim

- Expected information gain about hidden states; drives curiosity and novelty-seeking; mutual information term in expected free energy.
- Bayes-optimal exploration driven by uncertainty minimization; natural behavior in active inference without handcrafted mechanisms.
- The ability to gain relevant empirical information about the world and options.
- Inherent unreliability of biological substrate due to mutation, aging, cancer, parasites; proposed as driver of adaptive cognitive architecture.
- World-disclosing behavior that resolves uncertainty; driven by epistemic value and novelty components of expected free energy
- Opportunity for information gain presented by a particular course of action.
- Behavior driven by epistemic value; resolving uncertainty through action selection.
- Learning model parameters through curious, uncertainty-reducing behavior; reducing ignorance about contingencies
