The Profound and Far Reaching Free Energy Principle
The free energy principle is a deceptively simple idea that has profound implications. It challenges our understanding of the relationship between matter and life, and even the emergence of consciousness. While some dismiss it as trivial, others hail it as revolutionary. Karl's recent paper, 'The Free Energy Principle Made Simpler, but Not Too Simple,' is an attempt to explain this principle in a more accessible way. It describes a world where all things, from particles to people, evolve through a combination of smooth flowing processes and random disruptions.
