contents Lateral predictive coding is a recurrent neural network which creates energy-efficient internal representations by exploiting statistical regularity in sensory inputs. Here we investigate the trade-off between information robustness and energy in a linear model of lateral predictive coding analytically and by numerical minimization of a free energy. We observe several phase transitions in the synaptic weight matrix, especially a continuous transition which breaks reciprocity and permutation symmetry and builds cyclic dominance and a discontinuous transition with the associated sudden emergence of tight balance between excitatory and inhibitory interactions. The optimal network follows an ideal-gas law in an extended temperature range and saturates the efficiency upper-bound of energy utilization. These results bring theoretical insights on the emergence and evolution of complex internal models in predictive processing systems.
