Karl Friston: The Most INTENSE Theory of Reality Explained
Theories of Everything with Curt Jaimungal
Active States and Biological Dynamics
This chapter explores the notion of 'active states' in organisms, highlighting their role in the behavior and motion of living beings within a high-dimensional state space. The discussion connects active filaments in cells to movement, illustrating how these states interact and influence each other across various scales, and introduces the concept of pullback attractors in deterministic systems affected by random fluctuations. By integrating ideas of replication, variation, and probability, the chapter links biological dynamics with evolutionary theory and broader physical laws.
