论文摘要
赖特(Wright)和伯克斯(Bourkes)令人信服的文章正确地指出,现有的胚胎发生模型无法解释神经元中动态连接的机制和功能意义。我们通过吸引承销自由能原理的马尔可夫毛毯形式主义来追求他们对动态逻辑的描述。我们认为这使人们可以在最小化自由能的动态系统中将胚胎发生为自组织。随之而来的形式主义也可以扩展,以解释认知的自主出现,特别是在大脑中,是一个动态的自组装过程。
Wright and Bourkes compelling article rightly points out that existing models of embryogenesis fail to explain the mechanisms and functional significance of the dynamic connections among neurons. We pursue their account of Dynamic Logic by appealing to the Markov blanket formalism that underwrites the Free Energy Principle. We submit that this allows one to model embryogenesis as self-organisation in a dynamical system that minimises free-energy. The ensuing formalism may be extended to also explain the autonomous emergence of cognition, specifically in the brain, as a dynamic self-assembling process.
