NOTE

Understanding the Markov Blanket's Role in System Dynamics

The dynamics of any system are inherently dependent on the existence of a Markov blanket, which serves as a critical framework for understanding how systems operate. The concept does not imply that the Markov blanket emerges from specific dynamics; rather, it emphasizes that the dynamics are interpreted based on the conditions provided by the Markov blanket. Furthermore, while the principle of free energy suggests that survival is linked to maximizing adaptive fitness or marginal likelihood, it fundamentally asserts that if a system possesses a pullback attractor, it will inherently be described as maximizing these qualities, despite not requiring such maximization for survival.
