Free energy principle (FEP) is a burgeoning theory in theoreticalneuroscience that provides a universal law for modelling living systems of anyscale. Expecting a digital twin mind from this first principle, we propose amacro-level interpretation that bridge neuroscience and psychoanalysis throughthe lens of computational Lacanian psychoanalysis. In this article, we claimthree fundamental parallels between FEP and Lacanian psychoanalysis, andsuggest a FEP approach to formalizing Lacan's theory. Sharing the non-lineartemporal structure that combines prediction and retrospection (logical time),both of two theories focus on epistemological questions that how systemsrepresented themselves and external world, and those elements failed to berepresented (lacks and free energy) significantly influence the systems'subsequent states. Additionally, the fundamental hypothesis of FEP that theprecise state of environment is always concealed, accounts for object petit a,the core concept in Lacan's theory. With neuropsychoanalytic mapping from threeorders (the Real, the Symbolic, and the Imaginary, RSI) onto brain regions, wepropose a brain-wide FEP model for a minimal definition of Lacanian mind -composite state of RSI that is perturbated by desire running over the logicaltime. The FEP-RSI model involves three FEP units connected by respective freeenergy with a natural compliance with logical time, mimicking core dynamics ofLacanian mind. The biological plausibility of current model is considered fromperspectives of cognitive neuroscience. In conclusion, the FEP-RSI modelencapsulates a unified framework for digital twin modeling at the macro level.
