• Is there a unique Markov blanket for any given system, or do nested multi-scale Markov blankets all exhibit life-like behavior?question0.872
  Poses challenge to definition: if every Markov blanket induces active inference, is there lifelike behavior everywhere?
• Markov Blanketconcept0.804
  A statistical partition of states that separates internal states from external hidden states; fundamental to self-organization in the paper.
• If systems are ergodic and possess a Markov blanket, they will show lifelike behaviour.hypothesis0.803
  The main hypothesis the paper attempts to verify heuristically and with simulations.
• A Markov blanket is (almost) inevitable in coupled dynamical systems with short-range interactions.claim0.799
  Argument that physical laws inevitably produce Markov blankets.
• Any ergodic random dynamical system that possesses a Markov blanket will appear to actively maintain its structural and dynamical integrity.claim0.792
  The lemma that leads to the main claim.
• Does this mean there is lifelike behaviour everywhere or is there something special about the Markov blankets of systems we consider to be alive?question0.789
  Philosophical question arising from the ubiquity of Markov blankets.
