Interested in the epistemic foundations of Decentralized Science (DeSci)? See our 2022 collaboration on Active Inference & multi-agent modeling of Science: https://buff.ly/4i32gmy At the Institute we continue to develop tools and participatory projects around this kind of cognitive ecosystem modeling ~

Curious about how Active Inference is, and can be, applied? 4th Applied Active Inference Symposium concluded last week, exploring those questions. Images here are the program https://buff.ly/3CFC5lt , all sessions can be viewed.
