anima-theory
ANIMA as limit construction over condensed skill applications. Formalizes prediction markets as belief ANIMAs, structure dishes as condensation media, and impact as equivalence class change. Use for understanding agency at maximum entropy, compositional world modeling, or applying Scholze-Clausen condensed mathematics to AI.
npx skills add majiayu000/claude-skill-registry --skill anima-theory --agent claude-code
Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# ANIMA Theory > *Agency emerges only at the limit of condensed skill applications.* ## bmorphism Contributions > *"Autopoiesis refers to the self-maintenance of a system, where the system is capable of reproducing and maintaining itself. Ergodicity is a property that suggests a system will explore all accessible states given enough time."* > — [vibes.lol gist](https://gist.github.com/bmorphism/c41eaa531be774101c9d9b082bb369eb) **Active Inference at the Limit**: ANIMA theory connects to [Active Inference in String Diagrams](https://arxiv.org/abs/2308.00861) at the categorical limit — when skill applications reach a fixed point, the agent achieves minimum free energy. The ANIMA IS the equilibrium distribution of beliefs. **Autopoietic Agency**: bmorphism's autopoiesis concept maps directly to ANIMA: - **Self-maintenance** → Fixed point where skills reproduce existing equivalence classes - **Operational closure** → The condensation limit is closed under skill composition - **Structural coupling** → Skills adapt to environment while preserving ANIMA identity **Condensed Mathematics Connection**: The Scholze-Clausen condensation in ANIMA theory parallels the condensed analytic stacks t

What does the anima-theory skill do?
ANIMA as limit construction over condensed skill applications. Formalizes prediction markets as belief ANIMAs, structure dishes as condensation media, and impact as equivalence class change. Use for understanding agency at maximum entropy, compositional world modeling, or applying Scholze-Clausen condensed mathematics to AI.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add majiayu000/claude-skill-registry --skill anima-theory --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From majiayu000/claude-skill-registry, a repository with 534 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
