+# Paper 2: The Cortical Markov Blanket
+
+## Executive Overview
+This paper establishes a mathematically rigorous synthesis between Friston's Free Energy Principle and Tononi's Integrated Information Theory. It formulates a minimal viable agent bounded by a full Markov Blanket grounded in the canonical cortical microcircuit. By leveraging the steady-state Lyapunov equation, it demonstrates the conditional independence of the blanket. Furthermore, it mathematically guarantees strictly positive intrinsic integrated information ($\Phi > 0$) for biological cortical columns by applying the Intrinsic Difference metric over the continuous stationary density.
