The View From Somewhere: embodied agents and the quantum perspective (2025-2027)
Abstract
Motivated by recent results in quantum foundations, this project aims to develop a novel approach to objective reality by taking seriously the agent perspective in our scientific worldview. Our interdisciplinary team of philosophers and physicists will investigate the physics of embodied agents, exploring how agents learn about the world, codify this knowledge, and navigate their environment. We expect our project to significantly advance knowledge in quantum foundations and embodied agent learning. Our foundational research could underpin future breakthroughs in the research and development of the next generation of embedded intelligent machines, with the potential to unlock the enormous wealth creation capacity of Artificial Intelligence.
