environmental feedback functions of which a particular perceived part of the environment can form part

I don't know what this means.

1. An environmental feedback function is a term in a mathematical
characterization of the environment, in a model of a control system.

2. A perceived part of the environment is a perception by an observer or a
(inferred) perception by an observed control system.

3. The part of the environment that is perceived is an assumed reality.

How can 2 or 3 be part of 1? They are incommensurate.

They could be commensurate if 2 (second sense) is a perceptual signal, a
value in the same model as the environmental feedback function. How can a
perceptual signal p form a part of the environmental feedback function?

what _is_ the PCT-approved term to describe all the different
environmental feedback functions of which a particular perceived part of
the environment can form part?
