02 / CONCEPTS

From prediction to purposeful action.

Prediction

An estimate of what may happen next, informed by an internal model of the world.

Agency

The capacity to act on the world, rather than only describe or respond to it.

Autonomy

The ability to sustain and adapt action as conditions, uncertainty, and goals change.

03 / CONNECTIONS

Different fields. Shared questions.

Predictive processing asks how expectations shape perception. Control theory asks how feedback shapes action. Embodied intelligence asks how both emerge through interaction with the world. Predictive autonomy sits at their intersection.

04 / OPEN QUESTIONS

What makes anticipation autonomous?

When does a predictive model become a basis for agency? How should a system act when its predictions fail? And what changes when the system can reshape the world it is trying to predict?

This space is taking shape. Concepts and questions are starting points, not settled conclusions.
