Active Inference Institute (AII) is on the path of open-endedness. Our strategy considers learning and applying Active Inference for changes in the niche over multiple nested scales. Through time we increase the degree of hierarchical organizational complexity to overcome competing interactions and frustrated states.
We engage in policy selection, reducing our uncertainty about realizing our expectations and preferences for epistemic values as a non-profit organization. At the same time to ensure Institute development, we need to secure pragmatic financial sustainability with enabling activities.
The three scales that Active Inference Institute modifies and interact with:
Participant as an agent. The Institute provides affordances and updates participants’ generative model via niche modification and offering of affordances.
Institute as the agent. This is where we engage in Institute-level policies selection and evolve our shared generative model.
