ArXi:2605.12536v1 Announce Type: cross The Free Energy Principle (FEP) is a leading framework for mathematically modeling self-organization and learning, while Integrated Information Theory (IIT) is a computational ontology of consciousness oriented around irreducible cause and effect. While conceptual unifications have been proposed and appear to be ed by empirical findings, the absence of a rigorous mathematical mapping places upper bounds on their precision and testability.
