This Ecosystem project develops accounts of creativity and creative agents under the Free Energy Principle — examining how generative models and free energy minimization explain, predict, and enhance creative behavior.

Overview

The project designs and researches creativity as an Active Inference process — asking how creative agents update beliefs, explore possibility spaces, and produce novel outputs. The work connects theoretical accounts with practical research on creative practice.

Participate

Artists, cognitive scientists, and creativity researchers interested in Active Inference are welcome.
