- 23. Information Flow • Information flow connects the outer (environment) and the inner(=intelligence). • This is caused by mental activity to organize the inner mind’s dynamics. Information Flow Internal Cyclic Information Flow Making AI is achieved by designing Information flow. In actually, there are many information flow inside a mind.

- 71. WORLD BODY Umwelt Object Functional Organ (Body = Effector) Perceptual Organ (Sensor) A subjective world is created by functional effectors and perceptual sensors.
- 72. WORLD BODY Umwelt Object Functional Organ (Body = Effector) Perceptual Organ (Sensor) Each living thing has its different body and sensors. A subjective world is created by functional effectors and perceptual sensors.

Experiment Result In 1-3 /sec frequency, a snail did not go to the front, but Over 4 frequency, It went front. Conclusion A snails recognize the bar stops over 4 frequency. ＝In snails’ Umwelt, a frequency of sensors is under 4. (Human frequency is about 18.)

- 76. Snail's Umwelt Research A child chicken is tied to a bar with rope and closed in a transparent dome which prevent sound propagation. Experiment Result （Upper） Parent chicken ignored it. （Lawer） Parent chicken went to help a child. Conclusion In chicken’s Umwelt, voice is more important rather than visual sensor. ユクスキュル/クリサート、 「生物から見た世界」 （岩波文庫） Jakob Johann Baron von Uexkül, Adolf Portmann, Streifzüge durch die Umwelten von Tieren und Menschen, ROWOHLT HAMBURG,1956 http://monoskop.org/Monoskop
