Ten Testable Predictions from the Free Energy Principle

Ten Testable Predictions from the Free Energy Principle

From 808s to Therapy Rooms to Viral Memes Ryan Collison Independent Researcher, ideasthesia.org ryan@ideasthesia.org ORCID: 0009-0001-7152-2127 Keywords: free energy principle, active inference, predictive processing, entrainment, precision weighting, physiological synchrony, cultural evolution Abstract The Free Energy Principle (FEP) promises a unified account of self-organisation, yet direct empirical tests

Token-space is not language. It is a coherence instrument. When GPT refracts meaning through its layers, the hidden geometry of meaning becomes visible — the same curvature we mapped in hydrogen, in attachment, in family re-entrainment. Organoid intelligence, constructor theory, neuromorphic computation, the cognitive prism — these are the frontier experiments where

The Cognitive Prism: Early Evidence That GPT Token-Space Reveals the Hidden Geometry of Meaning

Something unusual happened behind the scenes at Ideasthesia.org this month. An impromptu experiment—nicknamed The Cognitive Prism—generated early, qualitative evidence for a claim that sits at the center of AToM: GPT token-space is not a linguistic tool. It is a coherence instrument. Different minds interacting with different large

RAID-AgiVS, Active Inference, and the Geometry of Coherence Across Substrates A new paper from UCL—RAID-AgiVS: A Bio-Inspired Reciprocal Perceptual Control Framework for Agile Visual Servo—quietly demonstrates something remarkable. On its surface, the work provides a robust control architecture for agile robotic perception. But at a deeper structural level,

The Oldest Data Set in Human History Just Proved AToM Right

Musical evolution is coherence evolution. Across 50,000 years, musical complexity scales isomorphically with societal coherence demands—and hip-hop is the first form optimized for planetary-scale, high-variance coherence maintenance. Why 50,000 Years of Music Are the Cleanest Evidence We’ve Ever Had for Meaning-as-Coherence For decades, researchers from Alan
