About the Book

This book discusses an integrative approach to the currently high profile topics of artificial intelligence, quantum information, and quantum biology, with applications in the biosciences and the emerging fields of computational phenomenology and basal cognition. Specifically, the book addresses theoretical constructs of artificial intelligence and quantum information within scale-free work space architectures as pertaining to neuroscience and biology as well as to self-organizing systems generally. The past few years have seen a rapid convergence of interests between researchers working in evo-devo biology and neuroscience and those working in AI, machine learning, and the physics of information, with much of this convergence driven by recognition that the Free Energy Principle applies not just to nervous systems, but to physical systems in general. The authors develop a scale-free, minimal architecture that associates a generic semantics with any well-defined physical interaction. The presentation is accessible to a broad audience, including advanced undergraduates. The book is appropriate for students and researchers in AI, the physics of information, and the life sciences, particularly those working in the growing interdisciplinary field of active inference.

Table of Contents:
Introduction.- Generic Quantum Systems.- Category-theoretic Approach to Distributed Information Flow.- CCCDs as Global Workspaces Implementing Hierarchical Bayesian Inference.- CCCD Hierarchies and the Quantum FEP.- Intrinsic or "Quantum" Contextuality.- Multiple Agents Interacting via the FEP.- Active Inference and Self-organizing Systems.- How Much of Neuroscience is just Physics?.

About the Author :
Chris Fields, Ph.D., is a member of the Allen Discovery Center of Tufts University as well as a private consultant. He received his Ph.D. in Philosophy from the University of Colorado. He is an Information Theorist having worked in nuclear physics, AI applications, neuromorphic computing, and bioinformatics. His work currently focuses on the interface between quantum information, computing, and the life sciences. James F. Glazebrook, Ph.D., is Emeritus Professor in the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science at Eastern Illinois University and member of the Adjunct Faculty in the Department of Mathematics at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. He received his Ph.D. in Mathematics from the University of Warwick and has held academic appointments in Mexico, Canada, and the USA. His research interests have included geometric analysis, operator theory/algebras and category theory. Currently, he is applying mathematical methods to cognitive neuroscience, aspects of biology (protein dynamics and neuromorphic development), artificial intelligence (classical and quantum frame problems), and quantum information in relationship to the principles of free energy and active inference.
