I study the emergence of social life in the context of neurocognitive evolution and development, using formal theory and high-performance computing. I use principles that combine formal information-theoretic concepts with dynamical systems theory to understand how living systems maintain themselves ("active inference").To further current neuroscientific accounts of social cognition, I am developing a robust and tractable theory of emotional inference based on active inference. I plan to use that framework to construct a computational ecology of multiple agents. I simulate their neurocognitive co-evolution towards functional interactions enabled by shared expectations.
