Karl Friston: The Most INTENSE Theory of Reality Explained
Theories of Everything with Curt Jaimungal
Teleology vs. Bayesian Mechanics
- Bayesian mechanics, free energy principle, quantum mechanics, and classical mechanics offer a teleology-free account of self-organization.
- Survival of the fittest implies a teleological explanation (surviving because of fitness).
- A non-teleological explanation is that those who survive appear as if they were fit.
- The latter avoids implying a predetermined purpose.
- Friston highlights the equivalence of Bayesian mechanics with Langevin, Fokker-Plank, and time-independent Schrodinger equations under different assumptions.
