Overview
Extracted from the local paper documentation when available.
The scientific process plays out in a multi-scale system comprising subsystems, each with their own dynamics. We formalize the scientific process as multi-scale Active Inference, where individual researchers, laboratories, institutions, and the global scientific community each minimize free energy at their respective scales. This framework accounts for hypothesis generation, experimental design...
