Safe Active Inference v5.0 (Expansion of the Theory: THE UNIVERSE'S SYSTEMATIC ERROR V1.2)
This work presents a formal computational model of a conscious agent system based on active inference, thermodynamically constrained information processing, and the idea of causal exchange with the external environment Y 10.5281/zenodo.20100346. The central thesis is that agency and conscious stability are not reducible to a single computational state. They are determined by the joint dynamics of the world model z , the binary existence pole v, the energy resource E, the access spectrum Ω, and the self-representation node S. Version v5.0 introduces separate thermodynamic coefficients for the recovery of the world model and self-representation: κworld and κself. This removes the implicit assumption that restoring the world model and restoring identity have the same physical cost. Consequently, the model allows not only full agent recovery but also partial regimes where the world and the self recover independently. The model is not a medical diagnostic scheme. Phenomenological correspondences are used only as interpretations of the formal system’s states.
