[Submitted on 16 Nov 2023] Mortal Computation: A Foundation for Biomimetic
Intelligence Alexander Ororbia, Karl Friston This review motivates and
synthesizes research efforts in neuroscience-inspired artificial intelligence
and biomimetic computing in terms of mortal computation. Specifically, we
characterize the notion of mortality by recasting ideas in biophysics,
cybernetics, and cognitive science in terms of a theoretical foundation for
sentient behavior. We frame the mortal computation thesis through the Markov
blanket formalism and the circular causality entailed by inference, learning,
and selection. The ensuing framework -- underwritten by the free energy
principle -- could prove useful for guiding the construction of unconventional
connectionist computational systems, neuromorphic intelligence, and chimeric
agents, including sentient organoids, which stand to revolutionize the long-
term future of embodied, enactive artificial intelligence and cognition
research. Active Inference Institute information: Website:
