W. POWERS states: “The environment function … is what links the action of the control system back to its perception , through a feedback connection ”. (1995, p.7)
This means that the control system must have a permanently adjusted knowledge of the varying environmental conditions.
This is obtained through specific captors or sensors. For every complex system, as living organisms , and specially human beings, the environmental function becomes very intricate, as the desired controls must be multiple and simultaneous.
It becomes the entire field of neurological perception and cerebral interpretation and integration of very differenciated sets of data.
