• Any system that persists must minimise surprisal, thereby gathering evidence for its own generative model, a process known as self-evidencing.claim0.796
  Foundational claim of the paper, defining self-evidencing.
• We may then arrive at a picture of the world which includes the self, and which clearly recognizes the personal nature of the universe.claim0.784
