With Professor. Karl Friston and Riddhi J. Pitliya\\<br \/> \\<br \/> Agency in the context of cognitive science, particularly when considering the free energy principle, extends beyond just human decision-making and autonomy. It encompasses a broader understanding of how all living systems, including non-human entities, interact with their environment to maintain their existence by minimising sensory surprise.\\<br \/> \\<br \/> According to the free energy principle, living organisms strive to minimize the difference between their predicted states and the actual sensory inputs they receive. This principle suggests that agency arises as a natural consequence of this process, particularly when organisms appear to plan ahead many steps in the future. \\<br \/> \\<br \/> Riddhi J. Pitliya is based in the computational psychopathology lab doing her Ph.D at the University of Oxford and works with Professor Karl Friston at VERSES. \\<br \/> \/ riddhijp \\<br \/> \\<br \/> References:\\<br \/> \\<br \/> THE FREE ENERGY PRINCIPLE\u2014A PRECIS [Ramstead]\\<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dialecticalsystems.eu\/con\">https:\/\/www.dialecticalsystems.eu\/con<\/a>\u2026\\<br \/> \\<br \/> Active Inference: The Free Energy Principle in Mind, Brain, and Behavior [Thomas Parr, Giovanni Pezzulo, Karl J.
