Distrusting the policy: how inference over action shapes our experience of
temporality in flow states and life more broadly
https://osf.io/preprints/psyarxiv/b3h2e Darius Parvizi-Wayne Time is a
remarkably bizarre phenomenon. It is both objectively measurable and
subjectively felt, and yet it is fundamentally fleeting, in so far as any
attempts to demarcate the present are always tardy. Furthermore, the 'now'
seems phenomenologically thick, constituted by the just-past and the about-to-
happen in a manner described first by James (1890) and Husserl (2019).
Although theoretical accounts of the structure of time-consciousness have
begun to proliferate in the active inference framework (cf. Albarracin et al.,
2022, 2023; Bogotá, 2023; Bogotá & Djebbaria, 2023), few models exist for the
passage of time per se. The most prominent attempt comes from Hohwy et al.
(2015), who ground the flow of time in a distrusting of the present hypothesis
about the cause of sensory data. In this talk, Darius Parvizi-Wayne argues
that a model which roots temporal flows in the dynamics of action policy
selection, rather than perceptual inference, is more consonant with the
phenomenal nature of the passage of time. This analysis begins with an
explication of subjective time in flow states, to which this action-centric
model is particularly well-suited, before expanding into a theoretical account
of time-consciousness more broadly. Active Inference Institute information:
