Come to my talk tomorrow! I will be looking at the bibliometrics of the free energy principle framework: is it a degenerating research programme? #psaatw #philosophyofscience #fep #actinf #friston
Tomorrow 6 November is the first of three meetings of the PSA Around the World! A fantastic online program with plenary panel and parallel sessions. All welcome! Note: time zone is 3pm CET.
Check out the program in the thread! 🥳

Thanks for spreading the word! It’s mind blowing that our mini-conference has attracted over 30 people in person (and dozens online!) while our website has drawn hundreds of views in the last days. This positive reception is very motivating for us to carry on promoting basal #cognition research :))
Today is the second and final day of the Basic Principles of Cognition mini-conference! Join for free online: basicprinciplesofcognition.wordpress.com/programme/ Organized by @bartoszradomski.bsky.social @ahoelken.discuss.systems.ap.brid.gy and Caroline Stankozi

Almost 800 views and 180 unique visitors in just the last three days. It’s amazing to see such interest in our project :))

I'm very much looking forward to the BPC conference tomorrow and on Friday at @ruhr-uni-bochum.de! Everyone is welcome to attend and you can also watch the stream on zoom. I will give a talk at 4pm about early 20th century concepts of plant agency (featuring Arber, Ungerer and Francé). 🌿

What has formerly been called “minimal cognition” research has now been renamed to “basal cognition”.
The phenomena in question are not merely reduced instances of ‘proper’ cognition, but rather represent a pervasive and fundamental aspect of cognition.

We should fine-tune an LLM on Stanisław Lem’s writings and call it an “LLLEM”
Btw, fun fact: Philip K. Dick at the height of his paranoia thought that “Lem” was in fact not a person but a secret collective of Soviet spies smuggling coded messages through sci-fi novels

I have written a blog post that motivates and sets the agenda of a new line of philosophical inquiry - the philosophy of adaptivity. You may have heard of adaptive AI or robots but what exactly makes them adaptive? And in what sense are we dynamically adaptive as biological systems?
The Philosophy of Adaptivity - Dialectical Systems
At the core of life is adaptivity, the organismal process of adjusting to ever-changing conditions. But despite its centrality, adaptivity is a surprisingly lonely concept. Its most immediate lexical ...

Well done @wanjawiese.bsky.social! That’s great news and it’s awesome to see how the journal is growing and getting the recognition it deserves!
The Diamond OAJ ournal @phimisci.bsky.social received metrics for the first time. Sure metrics are not the whole story, but its amazing to see them directly behind Philosophy of Science, and ahead of Phenomenology and the Cognitive Science SJR Value! Lets keep pushing OA Philosophy!

It was fun 3 hours presenting at the poster session 😁 great conversations, lots of water mist sprayed on our audience (consensually), snacks snacked on, handouts handed out - hopefully we just witnessed the beginning of a multidisciplinary collaborative research on machine insight! #assc28

Many compare the FEP to variational principles in physics. We concur that there’s similarity of formalisms. But if the FEP is a least action principle, then it doesn’t describe life.
