Physics-oriented learners and researchers exploring the physical basis of the Free Energy Principle.
A course connecting physics, thermodynamics, and the theoretical foundations of Active Inference.
On this page
The Physics Course is an Institute education project developing course materials on the physical foundations of Active Inference and the Free Energy Principle — covering thermodynamics, information theory, and the physics underlying biological self-organization.
The Physics Course explores Active Inference from a physics perspective, covering how thermodynamics, information theory, and statistical mechanics underpin the Free Energy Principle. It develops course materials connecting these foundations to biological and cognitive systems.
Physicists, mathematicians, and quantitatively-oriented learners interested in the theoretical foundations of Active Inference are welcome.
