Key sources for neuroscience and predictive processing… 


Karl Friston's University College London homepage:
This is a selective yet extensive list of his papers, articles and lectures, categorised by him, updated sporadically.  
He has developed a set of mathematical theories in computational neuroscience around the free energy principle (FEP). 


Giulio Tononi's homepage: 
Integrated information theory (IIT) and key related papers. 



Key sources for Objectivism's metaphysics and epistemology… 


ARI:
Ayn Rand Institute's website containing sources that cover all aspects of Objectivism, a gateway to the associated literature.
To drill down to overviews of Rand's metaphysics and epistemology (that bear on my PDF Existence, Identity, Consciousness) see…

+
ARI | The Objectivist Metaphysics: Axioms, Causality and the Primacy of Existence
This is a transcript of a talk by Leonard Peikoff covering Rand's metaphysics.

For a pertinent series of audio lectures, see… 

AS | The Foundations of Knowledge: The Primacy of Existence 
A series of audio lectures given by David Kelley. 



Overviews of some key ideas… 


Wikipedia | Free energy principle (FEP):


Wikipedia | Integrated information theory (IIT):


Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy | Holism and Nonseparability in Physics:
By Richard Healey


Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy | Ayn Rand:
By Neera K. Badhwar & Roderick T. Long


ARI | Lexicon | The primacy of existence or the primacy of consciousness:
The lexicon is useful is clarifying a range of concepts used in Objectivism. 


Objectivism In Depth | The Axioms of Objectivism
This brief blog article by Eric MacIntosh considers those axioms that are at the core of Rand's metaphysics.



Supplementary websites |  neuroscience and predictive processing…

Predictive Mind
Thomas Metzinger & Wanja Wiese's collection of predictive-processing papers from a wide range of contributors: 


Andy Clark's University of Edinburgh homepage: 
Perhaps the most prominent explainer of Karl Friston's free energy principle (FEP) and predictive processing (PP) more generally, as well as other aspect in the philosophy of mind. His is a more philosophical explanation of Friston's mathematical theories. 
Links to various publications, talks, etc. 


Jacob Hohwy's Monash University homepage: 


Anil Seth's University of Sussex homepage: 


Karl Friston's article on Aeon - The Mathematics of Mind-Time
His article gives an insight into how he approaches the mind philosophically. 
Aeon is another website worth bookmarking anyway.
