自由能原理是一个统一的框架,整合了生命起源、认知和行动的理论。最近,FEP已经发展成马尔可夫一元论观点(Friston et al. in BC 102:227-260,2020)。本文对马尔可夫一元论的论点的有效性表示怀疑。这种批判是基于这样一种假设,即马尔可夫模型是科学模型,虽然我们可以为关于科学模型性质的本体论理论辩护,但我们不能从我们关于科学模型性质的理论(马尔可夫毯)中读出关于目标系统(在本文中是自组织意识系统)性质的形而上学命题。本文提请注意不同的方式来理解马尔可夫模型,作为物质实体,虚构的实体和数学结构。我认为,这些解释都无助于捍卫形而上学的立场(无论是中性一元论还是还原物理主义)。这是因为科学表征是一个复杂的过程,而马尔可夫模型的属性--例如既不是物理的也不是心理的属性--不能被投射到它们的目标上,从而很容易地确定目标的本体属性。
Free Energy Principle underlies a unifying framework that integrates theories of origins of life, cognition, and action. Recently, FEP has been developed into a Markovian monist perspective (Friston et al. in BC 102: 227–260, 2020). The paper expresses scepticism about the validity of arguments for Markovian monism. The critique is based on the assumption that Markovian models are scientific models, and while we may defend ontological theories about the nature of scientific models, we could not read off metaphysical theses about the nature of target systems (self-organising conscious systems, in the present context) from our theories of nature of scientific models (Markov blankets). The paper draws attention to different ways of understanding Markovian models, as material entities, fictional entities, and mathematical structures. I argue that none of these interpretations contributes to the defence of a metaphysical stance (either in terms of neutral monism or reductive physicalism). This is because scientific representation is a sophisticated process, and properties of Markovian models—such as the property of being neither physical nor mental—could not be projected onto their targets to determine the ontological properties of targets easily.
