This visualisation explores the Free Energy Principle from Active Inference. Particles represent predictions or mental states. As you adjust the Free Energy slider, particles transition from chaotic movement to organised patterns. Lower free energy reflects reduced uncertainty or surprise.
The Pulse Intensity slider affects rhythmic coherence. Higher pulse leads to more synchronised motion patterns.
The metaphor relates to mental dynamics: high free energy implies disordered, exploratory cognition; reducing it represents convergence towards more stable beliefs or expectations. Rhythm influences shape formation over time, illustrating how mental coherence can emerge through repeated, coordinated movements.
