A Variational Approach to Scripts

This paper proposes a formal reconstruction of the script construct by leveraging active inference framework, behavioral modeling framework that casts action, perception, emotions, and attention as processes (Bayesian or variational) inference. We propose first principles account integrates its different uses in social sciences. begin reviewing recent literature construct. then examine main mathematical computational features Finally, we leverage resources to offer model scripts. Our integrative accounts for dual nature scripts (as internal, psychological schema used agents make sense event types constitutive categories up order) also stronger weaker conceptions (which do not relate explicit action sequences, respectively).
