Constructing Self and World: A Conversation with Shamil Chandaria (Episode #320)
Sam Harris
A theoretical framework proposed by Karl Friston that describes how biological systems maintain their structure and function by minimizing surprise (or free energy). It is considered the closest thing to a general algorithm for brain function.

A formal statement suggesting that any system that exists must exhibit properties that look like it is optimizing a particular quantity, related to minimizing variational free energy or maximizing model evidence.

A formal statement suggesting that existential imperatives for any surviving system in a changing world can be cast as an inference problem, minimizing variational free energy, equivalent to maximizing Bayesian model evidence.
