In fact, they're multidimensional structures.
So you've got multiple constraints that have to be satisfied.
And I use that phraseology because that is exactly what you get when you turn to the good and great of statistical physics, for example, E.T.
Jaynes.
So he describes physics.
Certainly, it's meteorological or measurement aspect of physics, just as maximum entropy under constraints.
And it's the constraints that shape the kind of thing you are.
And violating those constraints just is increasing free energy.
So, from a physicist's perspective, that what the Marx sort of emphasis on multiple
Ways of being surprised, multiple ways of dying, multiple ways of being out of kilter in a homeostatic or emotional or social or whatever sense.
This is what basically provides the shape of you and your self-organization.
And complying with those constraints just is a constraint.
Trained maximum entropy principle that just is the free energy principle.
Um, so on that level, I thought that was an important thing, which is why you can't do it with RL.
You can't do with reinforcement learning because you've only got one
category to reinforce either money or sweeties or
likes uh you can't do multiple constraint satisfaction properly uh with RL.
But you can do it with um your constrained maxim entropy principles or the free energy principle or or active inference, provided you equip you've got the right functional architecture in play that has all of these multiple constraints and dimensions.
Um everything, everything that either can be observed
or everything that is brought to the table to explain those observations.
