Jakob von Uexküll’s theory of the
Umwelt
is described and it is used to show how perceptual states can be defined. It is described how perceptual cues are selected over evolutionary time and defined by the organism that experiences them. It is then argued that by applying the model of the
Umwelt
to describe an animat’s behaviour, we can model the normally distributed, dynamic activations of the animat as discrete perceptual states.
