## Resource

In this episode we welcome special guest Daniel Friedman the President of the Active Inference Institute. Shana and Darrell smoothly switch up several intellectual gears as they engage with Daniel to explore the physics of transformation. Later on Mikey tries to illustrate the basics of the notoriously complex and nuanced FEP, using vague outlines while Daniels fills in the colours. Focused concentration is highly recommended. This conversation operates on multiple levels. https://www.activeinference.institute/ The Free Energy Principle Explained: Karl Friston’s Theory of How the Brain Works Daniel Friedman – Active Inference Institute | What is Active Inference?
