David Corfield active inference and category theory

Idea

Various approaches from ACT looking to capture Bayesian reasoning. Active inference sees us as Bayesian reasoners, minimising surprise by updating beliefs and conducting actions. Why not bring these together?

Some are, e.g., Toby Smithe.

How does the Poly/dynamical systems approach fit?

How does statistical learning theory fit?

Perhaps we can extract a relevant type theory from any such applied category theory.

There’s even a quantum variant, including holography. That might tap into Linear HoTT.

If psychoanalysts are getting interested in active inference, maybe there is room for something like a type theory of the unconscious.
