The Umwelt of an embodied agent—a measure-theoretic definition

Theory in biosciences
Preserved Fulltext

We consider a general model of the sensorimotor loop of an agent interacting with the world. This formalises Uexküll's notion of a function-circle. ...
In this generality, we define two σ-algebras of events in the world that describe two respective perspectives: (1) the perspective of an external observer, (2) the intrinsic perspective of the agent. ...
The authors would like to thank Jürgen Jost for his helpful comments. ...

In numerical simulation based on a formal representation of the sensorimotor loop, we show that the unique information of the body and environment is a good measure for morphological computation. ...

With creativity research in crisis due to conceptual, methodological, and theoretical issues, radical embodied cognitive science (RECS) may offer a framework to move the field forward. ...
Modern ideas of embodiment have been influential in cognitive science for the past several decades, yet there is minimal evidence of embodied cognition approaches in creativity research or pedagogical ...
For the purpose of this conceptual analysis, creativity is defined as an iterative process that involves (a) identifying a problem or area of 1 von Uexküll (1926/2010) described umwelt as the "surrounding ...
