Wright and Bourke's compelling article rightly points out that existing models of embryogenesis fail to explain the mechanisms and functional significance of the dynamic connections among neurons. We pursue their account of Dynamic Logic by appealing to the Markov blanket formalism that underwrites the Free Energy Principle. We submit that this allows one to model embryogenesis as self-organisation in a dynamical system that minimises free-energy. The ensuing formalism may be extended to also explain the autonomous emergence of cognition, specifically in the brain, as a dynamic self-assembling process.

认知即将到来：自组织和自由能：Wright、JJ 和 Bourke 的评论，PD（2020 年）“认知的增长：自由能最小化和皮层计算的胚胎发生”。

Wright 和 Bourke 引人注目的文章正确地指出，现有的胚胎发生模型未能解释神经元之间动态连接的机制和功能意义。我们通过诉诸支持自由能原理的马尔可夫一揽子形式主义来追求他们对动态逻辑的解释。我们认为，这允许人们将胚胎发生建模为动态系统中的自组织，从而最大限度地减少自由能。随后的形式主义可以扩展到也解释作为动态自组装过程的认知的自主出现，特别是在大脑中。
