Is the Free Energy Principle for Real?
Ian Robertson, Julian Kiverstein, and Michael Kirchhoff discuss the literalist fallacy and realism about the free energy principle. They explore the ongoing debate on whether FEP models accurately represent phenomena or are just heuristic tools. The misconceptions surrounding organisms strictly adhering to FEP models and the role of realism and abstraction in scientific modeling are also examined.
