The bottle-nose dolphin has dived and is searching about the ocean floor where it last dined on a cuttlefish.
Under its very snout is a swaying set of orange fronds, lightly speckled (a cuttlefish in camouflage.)
Thesis: the skin layers of the camouflaging cuttlefish constitute a mental representation. Rationale: cuttlefish moves over an area, perceives its dominant patterns and shapes and constructs its best representation of those patterns and shapes not in a higher neural level but in its outer skin ayers. No homunculus is required: any dolphin or other predator will do.
