Does the body really keep the score? Steven Kotler & Karl Friston argues trauma isn’t stored in tissues. It’s a prediction error—the brain gets stuck in rigid threat expectations. www.frontiersin.org/journals/sys...

Surprise/empowerment/etc may be the fundamental objectives living organisms optimize, however it is very difficult to optimize these objectives. I will be giving a talk at international worlshop on #activeinference on how foundational models can help improve these methods.
