The free energy principle induces compartmentalization

C Fields - Biochemical and Biophysical Research …, 2024 - Elsevier
Living systems at all scales are compartmentalized into interacting subsystems. This paper
reviews a mechanism that drives compartmentalization in generic systems at any scale. It …

Quantum fluctuation theorems, contextuality, and work quasiprobabilities

M Lostaglio - Physical review letters, 2018 - APS
We discuss the role of contextuality within quantum fluctuation theorems, in the light of a
recent no-go result by Perarnau-Llobet et al. We show that any fluctuation theorem …

Conscious agent networks: Formal analysis and application to cognition

C Fields, DD Hoffman, C Prakash, M Singh - Cognitive Systems Research, 2018 - Elsevier
Networks of “conscious agents”(CAs) as defined by Hoffman and Prakash (2014) are shown
to provide a robust and intuitive representation of perceptual and cognitive processes in the …

Information flow in context-dependent hierarchical Bayesian inference

C Fields, JF Glazebrook - Journal of Experimental & Theoretical …, 2022 - Taylor & Francis

Emergence of noncontextuality under quantum darwinism

RD Baldijão, R Wagner, C Duarte, B Amaral… - PRX Quantum, 2021 - APS
Quantum Darwinism proposes that the proliferation of redundant information plays a major
role in the emergence of objectivity out of the quantum world. Is this kind of objectivity …

What quantum measurements measure

RB Griffiths - Physical Review A, 2017 - APS
A solution to the second measurement problem, determining what prior microscopic
properties can be inferred from measurement outcomes (“pointer positions”), is worked out …

Quantum formalism for the dynamics of cognitive psychology

DC Brody - Scientific Reports, 2023 - nature.com
The cognitive state of mind concerning a range of choices to be made can be modelled
efficiently by use of an element of a high-dimensional Hilbert space. The dynamics of the …

Timelessness strictly inside the quantum realm

K Thomsen - Entropy, 2021 - mdpi.com
Time is one of the undisputed foundations of our life in the real world. Here it is argued that
inside small isolated quantum systems, time does not pass as we are used to, and it is …
