It comes with two appendices: the first on "the Limitations of Mathematical Modeling."

This one is quite interesting in its own right, including a take down of the claim that the #FreeEnergyPrinciple #FEP models life, which it just simply doesn't.

Self-organization of neurons explained using a mathematical theory

https://www.news-medical.net/news/20230808/Self-organization-of-neurons-explained-using-a-mathematical-theory.aspx

> An international collaboration between researchers at the RIKEN Center for Brain Science (CBS) in Japan, the University of Tokyo, and University College London has demonstrated that self-organization of neurons as they "learn" follows a mathematical theory called the free energy principle.

Free Energy Principle Predicts Self-Organized Learning in Real Neurons
An international team of researchers has discovered that the self-organization of neurons during learning aligns with the mathematical theory known as the free energy principle.

#KarlFriston and gang are at it again. They are formalising the notion of intelligence as "as the capacity to accumulate evidence for a generative model of one’s sensed world". In a #reinforcementlearning postulation the reward function is formulated as the need to maximize the evidence for
the agent's own generative model aka it's continued existence

I wonder what people here on @sigmoid.social think about this?

"... a milestone paper outlining a vision for the future of #AI."

Theories of systems and agents focus on mathematical frameworks providing formal #definitions of #systems and #agents that can take into account different features of #biological, #cognitive and #artificial systems, Some examples include: #freeenergyprinciple, #IIT and recent ideas formalised using #categorytheory.

#Introduction time.

TL;dr: maths to formally study #agents, #worldmodels and #representations

I'm currently a Chief Researcher at Araya, a Tokyo based startup with the goal to understand (artificial) #consciousness.

My work focuses on general principles for the #origins of #agency, #life and #cognition. I previously used the #freeenergyprinciple (+ #activeinference) as my main framework, but I'm now looking into other directions, mostly using #categorytheory applied to #systemstheory.
