This Ecosystem project develops a formal bridge between the Einstein model of a solid and the mental apparatus, viewed through the economic perspective of psychoanalytic theory. It applies Active Inference to bridge psychoanalytic concepts with modern neuroscience and artificial intelligence.
The project develops theoretical connections between classical psychoanalytic models of the mind and the Active Inference framework, using the Einstein model as a structural analogy. The work bridges the economic (energy-based) perspective in psychoanalysis with the free energy formalism.
Psychoanalytic researchers, neuroscientists, and formally-oriented theoreticians are welcome.
