In this paper it is shown that a natural representation of a state space is given by the predictor space, the linear space spanned by the predictors when the system is driven by a Gaussian white noise input with unit covariance matrix. A minimal realization corresponds to a selection of a basis of this predictor space. Based on this interpretation, a unifying view of hitherto proposed algorithmically defined minimal realizations is developed. A natural minimal partial realization is also obtained with the aid of this interpretation.
