[HTML][HTML] How particular is the physics of the free energy principle?

M Aguilera, B Millidge, A Tschantz, CL Buckley - Physics of Life Reviews, 2022 - Elsevier
The free energy principle (FEP) states that any dynamical system can be interpreted as
performing Bayesian inference upon its surrounding environment. Although, in theory, the …
