Abstract

Interpersonal relationships are a central feature of what it is to be human. Theory of Mind (ToM), or mentalising, is the ability to represent the hidden thoughts and beliefs of the self and others to navigate these relationships. However, to date there is no common set of formal principles that can be used to understand interpersonal relationships across context, disorder, and diversity, and in humans and artificial agents. Here we synthesise previously distinct components of social representation and inference into a common computational framework to allow translation across previously disparate processes. We discuss applications of the framework to problems regarding dysfunctional theory of mind, neural implementation, artificial intelligence, and discuss potential future directions for the field.
