Bayesian mechanics for stationary processes

L Da Costa, K Friston, C Heins… - Proceedings of the …, 2021 - royalsocietypublishing.org
This paper develops a Bayesian mechanics for adaptive systems. Firstly, we model the
interface between a system and its environment with a Markov blanket. This affords …

Probabilistic Principles for Biophysics and Neuroscience: Entropy Production, Bayesian Mechanics & the Free-Energy Principle

L Da Costa - arxiv preprint arxiv:2410.11735, 2024 - arxiv.org
This thesis focuses on three fundamental aspects of biological systems; namely, entropy

Thermodynamic speed limits for co-evolving systems

F Tasnim, DH Wolpert - arxiv preprint arxiv:2107.12471, 2021 - arxiv.org
Previously derived" global" thermodynamic speed limit theorems state that increasing the
maximum speed with which a system can evolve between two given probability distributions …

Entropy production for discrete-time markov processes

M Igarashi - arxiv preprint arxiv:2205.07214, 2022 - arxiv.org
We study the multiple definitions of the entropy production for discrete-time Markov
processes in single systems and composite systems. We clarify the equivalence condition …

Applying active inference to the study of collective behavior

C Heins - 2024 - kops.uni-konstanz.de
In this thesis, we delve into the intricate realm of collective behavior, melding the
perspectives of complex systems science with the predictive processing paradigm, and …
