- Markov BlanketextendsA statistical partition of states that separates internal states from external hidden states; fundamental to self-organization in the paper.
- Page-Wootters MechanismsupportsResult showing observable time is constructed from correlations between a clock subsystem and the rest; supports qFEP's spacetime-background-free setting

- 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.
