The Complex Brain Hypothesis reframes phenomenal richness as indexed by complexity modulated by inference grain, resolving why both minimal and high-content experiences can exhibit elevated brain entropy.
For example, the principles of efficient encoding suggest that the variational and thermodynamic free energy share the same minima (Sengupta et al., 2013, 2016)
