Active Blockference

Active Blockference

Active Blockference is a project stewarded by participants in the Active Inference Institute. It consists of an open-source Python package combining cadCAD (complex systems modeling framework and library) and pymdp (an active inference Markov Decision Process engine) for the study of both theoretical and applied Active Inference.

Currently, Active Blockference is in active development and we welcome participants from all backgrounds to join our weekly discussions on Wednesdays (currently at 12 and 17 UTC) or contribute to the growing codebase at github.com/ActiveInferenceInstitute/ActiveBlockference.
