Time plays a significant role in science and everyday life. Despite being experienced as a continuous flow, computational models of consciousness are typically restricted to a sequential temporal structure. This difference poses a serious challenge for computational phenomenology-a novel field combining phenomenology and computational modelling. By analysing the temporal structure of the active inference framework, we show that an integrated continuity of time can be achieved by merging Husserlian temporality with a sequential order of time. We also show that a Markov blanket of the present moment integrates past and future moments of both subjective temporality and objective time in an asynchronous manner. By applying the integrated continuity, it is clear that active inference makes use of both subjective temporality and objective time in an integrated fashion. We conclude that active inference, on a temporal note, qualifies as a computational model for phenomenological investigations.
时间在科学和日常生活中起着重要作用。尽管时间被体验为一种连续的流动，但意识的计算模型通常局限于顺序性的时间结构。这种差异给计算现象学——一个将现象学与计算建模相结合的新领域——带来了严峻挑战。通过分析主动推理框架的时间结构，我们表明，通过将胡塞尔式的时间性与时间的顺序性相结合，可以实现时间的综合连续性。我们还表明，当下时刻的马尔可夫覆盖以异步方式整合了主观时间性和客观时间的过去和未来时刻。通过应用这种综合连续性，很明显主动推理以综合方式利用了主观时间性和客观时间。我们得出结论，从时间角度来看，主动推理有资格作为现象学研究的计算模型。
