New theory links free energy principle to self-organizing neural networks

Researchers have developed a new framework for understanding how attractor neural networks emerge from the free energy principle. This approach integrates learning and inference dynamics, enabling self-organizing systems to perform Bayesian active inference. The resulting networks exhibit approximately orthogonalized attractor representations, which enhance generalization and the mutual information between hidden causes and observable effects. AI
