Interoceptive Attention as Dynamic Homeostatic Prioritization in a Foraging Agent
Article summary
Quick briefing — cleaned from the original RSS feed
arXiv:2608.04232v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Biological systems must regulate competing needs under limited perceptual bandwidth, where sharpening one estimate costs the capacity to sharpen the others. Any fixed-budget system therefore has to decide where to allocate its perceptual precision. We study this in a foraging agent that must keep several bodily needs satisfied to survive, modelled with active inference. At each step it reads its own body-state beliefs, identifies the most-needed…
