3.At this point, the DDF principle emerges as both a physical and mathematical necessity of such a brain model: physical, because a dissipative system, even though in nonequilibrium, must anyway satisfy the energy balance; mathematical, because the zero energy balance requires a “doubling of the system degrees of freedom”. The doubled degrees of freedom, say (the tilde quanta, where the nontilde quanta A denote the brain degrees of freedom), thus represent the environment to which the brain state is coupled. The environment (state) is thus represented as the “time-reversed double” of the brain (state) on which it is impinging. The environment is hence “modeled on the brain”, but according to the finite set of degrees of freedom the environment itself elicited in the brain.
