Also, what’s up with the predictive circuits which “predict” our next actions. If they’re fully re-wired to run only on reinforcement signals, and not correct predictions, then can they really be affected by our self-model? Maybe this works because the bottom-up information comes from reinforcement signals, while the top-down information comes from our higher-level self-model.
Do you follow Friston’s FEP? He posits that all we have is the internal model. And we only know the outside world thru the proxy of what he calls our “Markov blankets.” From that frame, I consider that an action (which has often been rehearsed) can be seen as a field equation.
Happy to go into further detail, but briefly, the result of the equation is then Bayesianly applied to the priors (beliefs) that subjugated the initial act.
