  • Our Umwelt is tied to how we perceive the environment.
    • A computer with a single light sensor is dumb and blind, obviously.
    • You realize that when you try to program it to do useful things in its environment.
    • And yet we're more like that then we realize.
    • Our Umwelt is rich, but still missing signals, like magnetism, a rich sense of smell, etc... and other signals we can't even imagine.
