Recurrent, nonequilibrium systems and the Markov blanket assumption
journal contribution
posted on 2023-06-10, 05:14 authored by Miguel Aguilera, Christopher BuckleyChristopher BuckleyMarkov blankets - statistical independences between system and environment - have become popular to describe the boundaries of living systems under Bayesian views of cognition. The intuition behind Markov blankets originates from considering acyclic, atemporal networks. In contrast, living systems display recurrent, nonequilibrium interactions that generate pervasive couplings between system and environment, making Markov blankets highly unusual and restricted to particular cases.
