A free energy principle for generic quantum systems
Abstract The Free Energy Principle (FEP) states that under suitable conditions of weak
coupling, random dynamical systems with sufficient degrees of freedom will behave so as to …

The physical meaning of the holographic principle
We show in this pedagogical review that far from being" an apparent law of physics that
stands by itself"(R. Bousso, Rev. Mod. Phys. 74 (2002), 825-874), the holographic principle …

Regulative development as a model for origin of life and artificial life studies
Using the formal framework of the Free Energy Principle, we show how generic
thermodynamic requirements on bidirectional information exchange between a system and …

Metacognition as a consequence of competing evolutionary time scales
Evolution is full of coevolving systems characterized by complex spatio-temporal interactions
that lead to intertwined processes of adaptation. Yet, how adaptation across multiple levels …

The free energy principle induces neuromorphic development
We show how any finite physical system with morphological, ie three-dimensional
embedding or shape, degrees of freedom and locally limited free energy will, under the …

Neurons as hierarchies of quantum reference frames
Conceptual and mathematical models of neurons have lagged behind empirical
understanding for decades. Here we extend previous work in modeling biological systems …

Sequential measurements, topological quantum field theories, and topological quantum neural networks
We introduce novel methods for implementing generic quantum information within a scale‐
free architecture. For a given observable system, we show how observational outcomes are …
