The Quantification of Perception

The faculties of perception have historically been classified as five senses. I'll content this is a limitation of the more full scope of perception, nevertheless, five senses are more than enough to begin an exercise of quantifying perception.

A Generative Engine produces quanta of Perception. For each of the given perceptions, there is a generative engine.

Generative Engines
Sound Generative Engine
Taste Generative Engine
Sight Generative Engine
Touch Generative Engine
Smell Generative Engine

At Runtime, the generative engines run simultaneously, and are often referred to collectively as "generative engine."

Quanta Of Perception

A Quanta is a collection of significant figures which describe a pixel of a rendered Scene. One attribute on a quantum is reference to its generative engine. sense: sound|smell|touch|taste|sight

For quantification purposes, it will be said that a perceptual quanta can have one of four states. The use of four quantum positions is a contentiously arbitrary constraint for the explicit purpose of determining the attributes of a quantification system. state: M|E|W|3

The system of perception will be said to occur with reference to a Time Series of Scenes. As such each quantum can specify the time address at which it should be rendered. The specification here is scene as there are many scenes at a given time, yet only one time per scene. Therefore, specifying scene qualifies as a time address. scene: 1234

Sense-specific references are expected, and the data model of a perceptual quantum can be extended. sensual: []

Snapshot

Given the model above, an instantaneous snapshot of perception as produced by Generative Engine and prior to Screen representation could be as given here:

sense: sound
state: M
scene: 1
sensual: []

sense: smell
state: M
scene: 1
sensual: []

sense: touch
state: M
scene: 1
sensual: []

sense: taste
state: M
scene: 1
sensual: []

sense: sight
state: M
scene: 1
sensual: []

sense: sound
state: E
scene: 1234
sensual: [x:0,y:0,z:0]

sense: sound
state: W
scene: 1234
sensual: [x:1,y:1,z:1]

While a readable representation is shown here, the data is flatmapped for transport at Runtime.
