🔍 Active Inference Scavenger Hunt (Part I: Theoretical Foundation)
Mission: You are an Agent equipped with a Generative Model. Your goal is to minimize epistemic uncertainty and maximise conceptual reward. Find the following clues and fill in your observations.
🧠 Clue 1: The High and Low Roads
Objective: Find and explain the difference between the High Road and Low Road to Active Inference.
Which road appeals more to philosophical reasoning? Which to computational modeling? 🔁 Clue 2: Action-Perception Loops
Objective: Identify the figure that illustrates the action-perception loop.
Summarize what it means for living organisms to actively sample their world. How is this connected to self-evidencing? 🎯 Clue 3: Prediction Error vs. Free Energy
Objective: Locate the explanation of prediction error minimization vs variational free energy minimisation.
Why is free energy the key objective for perception and action? 🧩 Clue 4: Bayesian Frog
Objective: Find the "frog vs. apple" example used to explain Bayesian inference.
What are the prior and likelihood values? What are the surprise and Bayesian surprise scores for the jumping observation? 🔬 Clue 5: Generative Model vs. Generative Process
Objective: Locate the section with a diagram showing the difference between a generative model and a generative process.
What’s the key distinction? How does this difference relate to the concept of subjectivity in perception?
