Current reading notes on the active-inference account of consciousness and the recursive loop that makes a model include itself.

This is the durable reading node behind the shorter latest-update surface. The /loop draft is where the longer chapter-by-chapter notes are taking shape; this entry exists so the reading itself can participate in the graph.

What matters for the site is the way the book turns consciousness into a loop: not just a model of the world, and not just a model of the self, but a model whose activity includes evidence for its own modeling.
