Exploring Internal and External States through a Different Lens

The speaker discusses the concept of internal and external states as tracking and being tracked respectively, considering it a useful and concise approach. By referencing the variational free energy equation and the distinction between recognition density and true posterior, the speaker suggests that the distinction between internal and external states is less significant, viewing all states as an aggregation of worldly states. The speaker emphasizes that the process involves statistical calculations without the need for the strong distinction between 'internal' and 'worldly' states, challenging the idea of a separate internal self or ego involved in these processes.
