Опубликована: Фев. 22, 2024

Abstract This paper examines Bird's account of restricted compositionality in terms compression information. Additionally, this proposes an alternative perspective (to Bird's) that links to the Free Energy Principle and minimisation collective entropy. Emphasising functional integration, criterion provides a more focused relatively objective (patternist) composition.

Structural Realism About the Free Energy Principle, the Best of Both Worlds DOI Creative Commons

Journal for General Philosophy of Science, Год журнала: 2024, Номер unknown

Опубликована: Март 26, 2024

Abstract There are realist and antirealist interpretations of the free energy principle (FEP). This paper aims to chart out a structural interpretation FEP. To do so, it draws on Worrall’s (Dialectica 43(1–2): 99–124, 1989) proposal. The general insight is that there progress at level structure theories rather than their content. enact strategy in context FEP, this will focus characterising formal continuity between fundamental equations thermodynamics—such as Boltzmann’s equation Gibbs’s equation—on one hand, Friston’s characterisation FEP other. Lack universal consensus physical character entities feature thermodynamics, information theory notwithstanding, I argue unity mathematical regiment entropy, energy. existence such provides grounds for realism about

Abstract This paper develops a measure of realism from within the framework cognitive structural (CSR). It argues that in context CSR, can be operationalised terms balance between accuracy and generality. More specifically, draws on free energy principle to characterise
