He has collaborated extensively with [[Karl Friston]] and others to develop the active inference framework as a unifying theory of biological and cognitive systems.<br /> <br /> Ramstead&#039;s research explores how the free energy principle applies to collective and cultural phenomena, arguing that shared narratives, institutions, and social practices can be understood as emergent properties of systems that minimize variational free energy across multiple scales of organization.<br /> <br /> [[Category:Philosophy]]<br /> [[Category:Science]]<br /> [[Category:Systems]]<br /> [[Category:Emergence]]</div>
