CHAPTER

Navigating the Free Energy Principle

This chapter explores the free energy principle as a framework for understanding how both sentient beings and robots minimize surprise to maintain a coherent grasp of reality. It draws parallels between neural architecture and cosmic structures while illustrating how complex decision-making processes relate to simple probabilistic models. The discussion also touches upon the philosophical implications of consciousness, thought, and the interaction between observation and experience in both biological and artificial intelligence.
