Part I

🔍 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.
What pages are they on?
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.
How do they differ?
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?
