The article’s illustrations suggest that feedback cycles were an important part of von Uexküll’s theory, but the text of the article never mentions it. Is that an aspect that got dropped from the theory later on?
I think the Wikipedia summary might be incomplete. Feedback cycles are central to von Uexküll’s theory. He described the Umwelt as a dynamic process where an organism’s sense organs pick up cues from the environment, leading to actions that change the environment, which in turn creates new cues.
