anyone able to give me a good explanation as to how a living organism can be a model of its environment (or atleast sensory inputs) and why it has to be?

Well there's the good regulator theorem.

>how a living organism can be a model of its environment
wat? do you mean how brains learn a model of the environment? or are you talking about indicator species?
Jace Sullivan
Thats not true, whos idea is that? It sounds dumb and i need it explained to me
anyways, you are looking for this

dude, someone proved mathematically that a good regulator is a model of the system it regulates. goodregulatorproject.org

i mean that for every state of an organisms ecological niche, the organism responds with a corresponding states so that for every environmental state there is a corresponding state in the organism (state when thinking in terms of statistical physics microscopic distributions). in simple terms you can say this means that an organism has a reaction (even if this means keeping still) that keeps the organism alive (puts an upper bound on its entropy)
Joseph Wood
note, a model is simply a mapping so that if you have two systems, every individual state of one system corresponds to a state in the other system. in a sense, modelling can be explained solely in terms of correlations. the ideal map has a one-to-one correlation. but you can say that a system goes toward a mapping if it reduces the entropy of its correspondence to the system that it maps (in informational terms though informational entropy is isomorphic to physical entropy mathematically)

>(External/Internal)state stress * heartrate and some chemical composition in matrix or equation form
...ok, maybe..

(for every situation it has a reaction)

huh?
