Active Inference Insights

CHAPTER

Active Inference and Survival Techniques in a Complex World

Exploring the brain's active inference process in navigating a complex and ever-changing world, focusing on predictability, forming social groups for survival, and rapid decision-making to ensure survival and pass on genes. Discussing the concept of coupling an agent with its environment to develop generative models, exploring approaches like active inference simulations and evolutionary algorithms to establish survival strategies. Delving into autogen, autopoiesis, and autocatalytic systems, examining self-organization in the brain and molecular reactions, and referencing synthetic biology examples of autocatalytic loops.
