Active Inference Insights

CHAPTER

Mathematical Concepts and Active Inference

The chapter delves into mathematical concepts such as the Dirac delta function and probability distributions in the context of active inference problems. The discussion explores the significance of context in determining initial probability distributions and the challenges of representing states of the world in a D matrix for a real agent. Topics such as tensors, matrices, attention, hidden states, and evolutionary factors are discussed, emphasizing the interplay between mathematical principles and cognitive processes.
