Well, I even did „countertenorish” stuff on the chorus. All tracks recorded by me, music and lyrics obviously too. It’s ok to do a little show off sometimes.

As many of you know, I’ve been fascinated by brain attractor dynamics lately. Thrilled to share a new preprint on their link to orthogonal neural representations, co-authored with Karl Friston:
arxiv.org/abs/2505.22749
- with implications for both neuroscience & AI! First in a series - stay tuned!

Self-orthogonalizing attractor neural networks emerging from the free energy principle
Attractor dynamics are a hallmark of many complex systems, including the brain. Understanding how such self-organizing dynamics emerge from first principles is crucial for advancing our understanding ...

Of course the Catholich Church should be mocked. It is one of the most powerful institutions in the world. On top of that, it is misongynist (like Trump), anti-abortion (like Trump), making people have children they cannot afford (supported by Trump), and has a long list of corruption (like Trump).
