Abstract The Free Energy Principle (FEP) states that under suitable conditions of weak
coupling, random dynamical systems with sufficient degrees of freedom will behave so as to …

One of the most salient features of life is its capacity to handle novelty and namely to thrive
and adapt to new circumstances and changes in both the environment and internal …

The goal of machine learning is to facilitate a computer to execute a specific task without
explicit instruction by an external party. Quantum foundations seek to explain the conceptual …

We present unambiguous experimental evidence for (quantum-like) probabilistic
contextuality in psychology. All previous attempts to find contextuality in a psychological …

Theories of consciousness and cognition that assume a neural substrate automatically
regard phylogenetically basal, nonneural systems as nonconscious and noncognitive. Here …

In quantum physics there are well-known situations when measurements of the same
property in different contexts (under different conditions) have the same probability …

Meaning has traditionally been regarded as a problem for philosophers and psychologists.
Advances in cognitive science since the early 1960s, however, broadened discussions of …

We show how any finite physical system with morphological, ie three-dimensional
embedding or shape, degrees of freedom and locally limited free energy will, under the …

Recent theories developing broad notions of context and its effects on inference are
becoming increasingly important in fields as diverse as cognitive psychology, information …

We show in this pedagogical review that far from being" an apparent law of physics that
stands by itself"(R. Bousso, Rev. Mod. Phys. 74 (2002), 825-874), the holographic principle …
