Renormalising Generative Models for Active Inference: Foundations, Derivations, and Verification
Quick summary
arXiv:2608.09512v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Active inference offers a unified framework for perception, learning, and action, but scaling discrete active-inference models to rich spatial and temporal domains remains difficult. Renormalising generative models (RGMs) address this challenge by composing discrete generative models across spatial and temporal scales, coarse-graining lower-level states and paths into higher-level causes for objects, events, and action. However, fully reproducing and adapting the framework remains difficult: the mathematical exposition is compact, and the referen
