  This paper presents a model of consciousness that follows directly from the
free-energy principle (FEP). We first rehearse the classical and quantum
formulations of the FEP. In particular, we consider the inner screen hypothesis
that follows from the quantum information theoretic version of the FEP. We then
review applications of the FEP to the known sparse (nested and hierarchical)
neuro-anatomy of the brain. We focus on the holographic structure of the brain,
and how this structure supports (overt and covert) action.
