You want to look up Braitenberg's book "Vehicles - Experiments in Synthetic
Psychology" (MIT Press 1984). He describes a series of hypothetical "vehicles"
of increasing complexity ranging from the simplest sensor-motor system
imaginable all the way up to Real Intelligence (TM). The "light worshippers" 
are instances of vehicle types 2-4 (out of 14).
