Self-organizing systems maintain low entropy by minimizing variational free energy. This principle applies from single cells to brains and behavior.\\n\\nThe principle states that any system at equilibrium with its environment must minimize free energy. Free energy bounds surprise. Surprise is the negative log probability of sensory states. Systems act to avoid surprising states.\\n\\n## Core Results\\n\\nActive inference follows from the principle. Agents infer hidden causes of sensations and act to fulfill predictions. Perception updates beliefs. Action changes the world to match predictions. Learning optimizes the model over time.\\n\\nThis framework unifies perception, action, and learning under one objective. It explains homeostasis as surprise minimization. It extends to social behavior through shared models.\\n\\n## Primary Works and Passages\\n\\nFriston, K. J. (2010). The free-energy principle: a unified brain theory?
