• Thermodynamic Equilibrium (Maximum Entropy)concept0.818
  The dead inert state where all energy differences are equalized; organisms avoid this by metabolism.
• Entropyconcept0.771
  A measurable physical quantity representing disorder; its increase is dictated by the second law of thermodynamics.
• Free Energy Principleframework0.764
  A foundational variational principle from statistical physics that formalizes how self-organizing systems maintain structural integrity and adapt to their environment by minimizing free energy—a mathematical bound on surprise or prediction error. Originally developed by Karl Friston, the framework unifies action, perception, and learning as processes of active inference, where systems both update internal models of the world and act upon it to reduce the divergence between predictions and observations.
• Huygens principleconcept0.746
  Physical principle used to model tracer effect and traveling wave construction of space in consciousness.
• Mach's principleconcept0.737
  The idea that gravitational constant is a function of all matter in the universe; cited as an example of wholeness in cosmology.
• minimum energy principlesconcept0.735
  Principles like least action that produce efficient forms in nature, contributing to simplicity and good shape.
• Bellman Optimality Principleframework0.733
  Classical optimal control principle argued to be inapplicable to belief-based epistemic problems
• Duality Principleconcept0.728
  Any statement about a poset P yields a dual statement about P^∂ by interchanging ≤ and ≥; permits proof of one statement to establish its dual.
