CHAPTER

Beliefs and Temporal Depth in Generative Models

This chapter explores the importance of beliefs in active inference and how they are embodied in generative models. It discusses the relationship between temporal depth and the ability to plan actions into the future, and debates whether deep temporal modeling can exist without being a large entity. The chapter also touches on the concepts of selfhood, hierarchical generative models, and the connection between depth and consciousness.
