Collaborators

Originator of the free energy principle. Collaboration began with "Of woodlice and men" (2018) and continues through co-authored papers on variational synthesis (2023), evolutionary dynamics, federated inference (2024), and ant cognitive models in Active Inferants (2021).

PhD advisor. Foundational work on the behavioral, physiological, and transcriptomic bases of collective behavior in harvester ants across the PhD dissertation (2019), dopamine regulation of foraging (2018), ant genetics review (2016), and brain gene expression (2020).

Co-mentored NSF Postdoctoral Fellowship at UC Davis (2020–2023), focusing on distributed physiology (2020), neurotransmitter natural variation (2020), and honey bee gene expression (2023).

Collaborated on multi-agent Active Inference models, particularly on shared protentions (anticipatory representations) in multi-agent systems and cognitive architectures.

Collaborated on formal Active Inference architectures and multi-agent systems, including work on shared protentions (2024), federated inference (2024), Active Inferants (2021), and distributed science (2023).

Founder of COGSEC.org. Developed cognitive security frameworks including The Facilitator's Catechism (2020), Digital Rhetorical Ecosystem Analysis (2021), P3IF (2023), image meme research (2024), and the Cognitive Integrity Framework (2026).
