Not being commited to any particular ontology feels extremely free and full of relief. In explorative analytical mode I am not loyal to any particular set of I love to explore what kinds of assumptions can exist and what are their advantages and disadvantages in as neutral way as possible. In explorative experiental mode I love to explore what its like to deeply experience different ways of being, such as being one with everything on open individualism or nonexistence on empty individualism or increased sense of agency and unlimited possibilities of statespace of consciousness in idealism because of less attachment to the "physical being". Being agnostic because of difficulty or impossibility of empirical testability can free oneself from not optimal lenses. Being sceptic can find out disadvantages efficiently. Seeing reality as fundamentally mysterious and nongraspable by any concepts generates tons of awe and generates openminedness and epistemic humility meaning one has no total certainity about truthness and accuracy and fundamentalism of his models by dereifying concrete beliefs. We are all one because we're all locally embedded in the global universal wave function but we are also it through fundamental interconnectedness, relationality, nonseparability of everything, no system can ever be fully isolated. We're all also slices in spacetime or nothing at all because nothing is ever permanent. We're all also observing and acting systems that are segments that come into existence and dissolve into entropy because that's pragmatic notion to navigate everyday world and to engineer neurotechnologies and do other science. ===Assumptions for science=== ==Fundamental structure of reality for science== ===Classical physics=== ===Information theory, Classical formulation of the free energy principle formalizing conscious agents=== Now let's talk about the free energy principle that I'm gonna use as both epistemological framework (bayesianism) and to define physics of survival.

How do we systematically find food in our environment? We must be able to predict it and act on it. How do we do that? Our brain approximates bayesian mechanics. What is that? Bayes theorem tells us the optimal way of processing information that natural selection approximately recruited in us, where the probaility of our model of the causes of our perception (aka priors) given our measured input sensory data being true aka corresponding to how it is statistically in reality can be calculated by probability of our input sensory data given our predicted causes times probability of our predicted causes, all divided by the probability of our input sensory data.

Evolution sidesteps this issue by partially by evolution preprogrammed priors, such as subconsciously monitoring and influencing our blood pressure, or doing lots of partitioning of sensory data, such as dividing into different senses, doing distinctions between self and other, modelling our own ability to influence the world and so on, all of which is maintained in an always active generative model that acts as a software that looks at sensory data, compares it with our priors, and sends a prediction error if there is a mismatch, which creates evolutionary pressure to update our model of the world, such as for example changing our perspective on some issue when presented with different evidence (certain ways of thinking are stuck in rigid attractor where this mechanism of updating is malfunctioning) or for example when we see a pink unicorn dancing on a rainbow when on psychedelics we get confused and see it as outlier that probably isnt real according to our priors, but seeing lots of unicorns overtime might change our priors. This whole process reduces our uncertainity about the world. More generally and formally, a thing corresponds to a markov blanket, which is a graph of nodes that learn correlations from its surroundings where you can locate a statistical boundary, where depending on how this particle (an observer with a reference frame) is complex [Imgur: The magic of the Internet]([Imgur: The magic of the Internet](https://imgur.com/a/xHvym29)) you can locate nodes that seem to encode hidden states, meaning correlations encoding the outside world's (outside blanket's) structure, nodes that look as if they're just measuring and compressing the outside nodes, and nodes that look as if they're acting on the environment by statistical causal influence (doesnt exist in inert particles), and it tends to be nested a hieachy of markov blankets composed of markov blankets and so on, where you get dynamics of message passing and circular causal influence of the agent with the environment. Even more formally on this markov blanket a principle of least action is applied that minimizes statistical quantity of variational free energy that helps the model to be as accurate as possible while being the least complex as possible. It can be seen through the lens of thermodynamics as energy contractions and flow on this topology of information networks. You can crave certain neural classifiers or certain paths and then interconnect them via higher order nonlinear neural connections. The probability distribution which best represents the current state of knowledge about a system is the one with largest information entropy aka avarage amount of information or uncertainity inherent to the variable's possible outcomes. (generalization of thermodynamic entropy) [Principle of maximum entropy - Wikipedia]([Principle of maximum entropy - Wikipedia]([Principle of maximum entropy - Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principle_of_maximum_entropy))) All of those insights can be used for ideal rational epistemology! ===Quantum physics=== We've covered classical physics so far, now let's look at quantum mechanics. Quantum mechanics is a general framework that can be used to study evolution and dynamics of particles like in classical physics, but instead of objects and particles as deterministic points or shapes in classical 3D space, their classical information becomes inherently probabilistic and a concept of entanglement is introduced that says that any two systems that are entagled are inseparable. When we apply quantum mechanics to the fundamental particles level, particles are represented using complex valued wave function that evolves the probability distribution of the possible particle's classical properties. In quantum electrodynamics [Quantum - Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum)_electrodynamics or standard model or quantum field theory in general, particles are excitations of matter and interaction quantum fields that fill all of space. ===Unifying quantum with the classical, Quantum darwinism or other options===
