"calculate the Page curve, which in turn reveals that information gets out of the black hole" entaglement between two systems is also the degree of openness of the systems leading to correlations. mmmm openness of the space time information. merging in space and time. when you dont measure the space and time of a particle/system in a wavefunction the superposition is like the system's nonseparable parts internal disconnection from our sense of space and time. 2nd law of thermodynamics creating entropy creating entaglement killing space killing concetrated energy and thus information evolving in time but globally total amount of energy and information is conserved by perservation of probability with time reversal symmetry. what resists and survives in this chaos and doesnt entangle into everything and dissipates all information to everywhere is the classical world of quasistable systems.

[[1812.10020] Generalized Wigner-von Neumann entropy and its typicality](https://arxiv.org/abs/1812.10020) 🤔 or the overall evolution of concept of entropy (disorder) is fascinating. i love how shannon entropy is special case of it according to Neumann. its generalization of thermodynamic entropy into information theory. amount of hidden information in a system. apparently Neumann told Shannon to call it entropy as he didnt realize it. 😄 one way to think of it is the more possible outcomes an event has, the more Shannon entropy it has. Von Neumann entropy generalizes it to the quantum and its the heart of quantum information theory. but the isolated entangled particle has von neumann entropy bigger than 0 since there's hidden information in the rest of the wavefunction, making its entropy equivalent to classical particle. in statistical mechanics i like the connection that more entropy leads to more possible configurations of the system and therefore more information is contained in it. entropy is life! ==Nature of intelligence== What is nature of (human) (general) intelligence?

Is it comprehensible? Do we think about base reality "correctly"? Does he question of "base reality" even make sense"? But I agree that scientifically all our models can be seen as useful approximations of some dynamics out there that predict and make sense of tons of empirical data with various explanatory power, is it all just our brains fitting curves like in machine learning all the way down? Let's construct the most predictive and explanatory and unifying model of reality as possible! I trust and use the scientific method the most out of any other epistemological frames as nothing is as pragmatic for understanding (predicting and manipulating) the mind, physics and the world overall. I'm just openminded to explore all other ways of conceptualizing truth and also love getting my mind expanded by all the possibilities of looking at reality and I lvoe transcendign beyond all mental limitations and concepts into pure potentiality :D I like all philosophies of science, physics and overall approaches to epistemology and reality. :D Possibly all those different approaches can be grounded in cognitive scientific frame of neurophenomenological classifiers assigning truth (probabilistic certainity) to statements and relationships (infomorphisms) between them? ==Neural Annealing in practice== You can energize (reinforce) mental objects by directing attentional arrow to it, by it being aligned with valence gradient (aethetics, resolving basic needs), sensory data (what aligns with "reality" or imagined expectations is reinforced), surprise (prediction error adds entropic activity to fix prediction errors to tune models by finding policies to edit internal models or act on the world), you can also modify (transform) it into a more consonant symmetrical shape, you can energize it so much that its dissolves by overwhelming, you can weaken attentional resources (forces) by globalizing them (attention to background stillness, vastness, silentness, boundarylessness, centerlessness, infinityness,...) resulting in global smoothening as local topological shapes in the neural tissue through global acticity gets more coarsegrained, more smoothened, more redistributed, and you can also avoid mental objects. Energy sink can act as a neural classifier taking sensory data as input and outputing other thoughts or actions. Low energy depression seems to be damping energy through no learned agency. (hopelessness isnt learned, its that no agency is learned [Helplessness Is Not Learned - Neurofrontiers]([Helplessness Is Not Learned - Neurofrontiers]([Helplessness Is Not Learned - Neurofrontiers](https://neurofrontiers.blog/helplessness-is-not-learned/))) ) Which might be seen as no sensory patters cascading into possible actions, no dopaminogentic motivation. Symmetrical representations can create global cascade of activation of neural representations from just one through more interconnected neural topology (meditation and psychedelics increase that). We can damp energy by getting into gettign stuck into some one solid mental object. One can collapse from deconstructed entropic state back into some highly specialized context to concetrate all that free computational power into one task and use it all there, its asymmetry (high overfitted specialization) can damp overall energy. When it comes to shifting energy from one task to another one, one can in the global context see reason for doing that to generate motivation. We climb valence gradients realized as error reduction slopes of solving the problem better than expected, so depending on our aethtics and current problems we solve in life, we can shift our attention by lubricating those fundamental objective functions in our deepest bayesian priors, which also increases wellbeing through increased sense of meaning and motivation and reduces procrasination. More trust, more bayesian prior, aethetics, goal synchronization, leads to more efficient belief transmission, more efficient updating of maladaptive priors. Ideal psychotherapheutic setting definitely depends on the cultural aethetics of the client - some people are raised religious, some secular, some think more in mechanistic terms, some think more in fantasy narratives and so on. Songs are definitely also subjective to high degree as they active consonant memories through context dependant associations leading to good transformative trips. ==Free energy principle is general ontology and language for information processing in physics and individual and collective sensemaking== [Physics as Information Processing ~ Chris Fields ~ AII 2023]([Physics as Information Processing ~ Chris Fields ~ AII 2023]([Physics as Information Processing ~ Chris Fields ~ AII 2023]([Physics as Information Processing ~ Chris Fields ~ AII 2023]([Physics as Information Processing ~ Chris Fields ~ AII 2023]([Physics as Information Processing ~ Chris Fields ~ AII 2023]([Physics as Information Processing ~ Chris Fields ~ AII 2023]([Physics as Information Processing ~ Chris Fields ~ AII 2023]([Physics as Information Processing ~ Chris Fields ~ AII 2023]([Physics as Information Processing ~ Chris Fields ~ AII 2023]([Physics as Information Processing ~ Chris Fields ~ AII 2023]([Physics as Information Processing ~ Chris Fields ~ AII 2023]([Physics as Information Processing ~ Chris Fields ~ AII 2023]([Physics as Information Processing ~ Chris Fields ~ AII 2023]([Physics as Information Processing ~ Chris Fields ~ AII 2023]([Physics as Information Processing ~ Chris Fields ~ AII 2023]([Physics as Information Processing ~ Chris Fields ~ AII 2023]([Physics as Information Processing ~ Chris Fields ~ AII 2023](https://coda.io/@active-inference-institute/fields-physics-2023))))))))))))))))))/course-syllabus-2 Instead of asking "Is this inherently good or bad?" ask "What advantages and disadvantages does this have?
