description	Groovy implementation of Active Inference with belief updating, free energy minimization, and policy selection

Active Inference in Groovy

Overview

This skill provides a complete Active Inference implementation in Groovy, demonstrating Bayesian belief updating, variational free energy calculation, and expected free energy-based policy selection.

Core Algorithms

1. Belief Updating: Bayesian inference using observation likelihoods to update posterior beliefs
2. Free Energy Calculation: KL divergence between posterior beliefs and prior distribution
3. Policy Selection: Softmax action selection over expected free energy per action
4. Perception-Action Loop: Iterative sense → infer → act cycle with generative model
