DOI: 10.1017/s0140525x22002783
Abstract: Abstract Convincing narratives are not confabulations. Presumably they “feel right” to decision-making agents because the probabilities they assign intuitively (i.e., implicitly) to potential outcomes are plausible. Can we render explicit the calculations that would be… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s42005-021-00669-2
Abstract: Noether’s calculus of invariant variations yields exact identities from functional symmetries. The standard application to an action integral allows to identify conservation laws. Here we rather consider generating functionals, such as the free energy and… read more here.
