C.26.3:4.10 - Source-to-pattern translation
Allostasis, active inference, FEP, Markov blankets, and computational-boundary sources are useful here only after translation into FPF architecture terms:
| Source-side term | FPF-facing translation |
|---|---|
| Homeostasis | Keep one parameter or bundle inside viable bounds. |
| Allostasis | Preserve function through one or more separately governed changes to settings, environment, boundary condition, or operating regime; the source term does not determine Method, description, plan, Work, transformation, relation, or resulting state. |
| Active inference / perception as action | Measurement, sensor placement, and action have cost and can change later state estimates. |
| Markov blanket or computational boundary | Statistical or probabilistic boundary-lens cue only after recovery. Accepted local Markov dynamics stay with A.3.3; lens use stays with C.29. Use C.26 when quantum-like, probe, frame, or measure-model-act wording exposes the required contextual-model obstruction; use C.26.3 when the envelope-regulation question in §1 remains. Physical boundary, interface module, component, functional element, boundary description or publication, and agency threshold require their subject patterns; Markov wording does not admit them by itself. |
| Criticality / metastability | Stability may be regime-bounded and fluctuation-bearing, not one final fixed point. |
| Expected free energy / precision control | Information gathering, action, and confidence have cost; use only when those costs change the architecture decision. |
This translation keeps the pattern practical for architects. The reader should be able to move from a source line to one concrete action: change a metric or probe; recover the candidate proposal as its exact Method or description, setting proposal, WorkPlan, access or permission claim, or Bridge proposal or description; separately identify any dated Work, actual transformation or other change, obtaining relation occurrence, or resulting state; where a direct relation pattern permits Work or a transformation to establish, change, or end its occurrence, state that occurrence under its predicate; for F.9, revise only the relevant claim, scheme, endpoint sense, profile, or description and test any new Bridge candidate independently; change a boundary condition; state a trade-off; or reroute.
