Improving the Minimum Free Energy Principle to the Maximum Information Efficiency Principle by Chenguang Lu

“…The G theory is based on the P-T probability framework and, therefore, allows for the use of truth, membership, similarity, and distortion functions (related to semantics) as constraints. Based on the study of the <i>R</i>(<i>G</i>) function and logical Bayesian Inference, this paper proposes the Semantic Variational Bayesian (SVB) and the Maximum Information Efficiency (MIE) principle. …”

The dichotomy of human decision-making: An experimental assessment of stone tool efficiency. by David Nora, João Marreiros, Walter Gneisinger, Antonella Pedergnana, Telmo Pereira

“…This strongly suggests that each raw material used in archaeological contexts to produce blanks should be evaluated for its efficiency. In addition, it may be pertinent to extend this approach to other blunt artefactssuch as scrapers, burins, anvils, and hammerstones when investigating aspects of interconnected behaviours such as artefact variability, resource economy, group mobility, and site function. …”
