CHAPTER

The Free Energy Principle and the Logic of Uncertainty

The free energy principle is one of the very few principles that conform to itself. It's trying to provide an accurate but minimally complex explanation for everything. And my guess is that the notion of wandering sets and the time scales over which internal states are exchanged with external states will be a going to be an important issue. We may develop a mathematics of more of a distance metric. This cloud of points is currently this distance from a particular wandering point and they're orbiting around. There may be some dynamics in there. So that might conserve the relatively simple principles that underwrite the free energy principle, but now applied at sort of one level up as it were.
