This repository provides a list of papers that I believe are interesting and influential on the Free-Energy-Principle, or in Active Inference. If you believe I have missed any papers, please contact me or make a pull request with the information about the paper. I will be happy to include it.
## FEP Outline
This list is of papers focused specifically on the abstract mathematical formulation of the Free-Energy-Principle (FEP). The FEP
This list is of papers focused specifically on the abstract mathematical formulation of the Free-Energy-Principle (FEP). The FEP is a theory which tries to determine the behaviours a non-equilibrium thermodynamical system *must* exhibit if it is to maintain itself as a separate entity over time. It argues that any such system must minimize a quantity called the free energy and that, over the course of this minimisation, behaviour much like action and perception must emerge.
The key prerequisites for the FEP is that a 'system' has a special kind of statistical separation from the world called a Markov Blanket, which it must maintain if it is to remain a system, and that the system possesses a non-equilibrium steady state which it self-organises to and tries to maintain over time against the dissipative forces of entropy.
Much of the work in the FEP has been applying its general tenets to understand biological far-from-equilibrium systems, especially the brain.
