Sense

this broke my brain and i think i forgot the question

And, yes, the actual pain in itself is somewhat of a "software", it only exists in code, but it's not physical

[@TheOldMystic]

I have been trying to avoid computer-type references for the happenings of the brain ... because some people don't like it. But yes. Surely pain can (and maybe should) be usefully compared to computer code.

Check out one of the newer Joe Rogan with Rober Epstein, lots of talk about the brain, memory. An ide that memory is not in the brain

I would argue that everything sensed or felt is just a form of "intuition".... And intuition is just short, quick "thinking"... And thinking is just a reflex. As for love, I can barely acknowledge the existence of the word it has become so meaningless... I would say "my brain" can manifest desire which is just a synonym for Hunger, it's just a stiffer stomach that needs feeding. I would further state that all "sensed" stuff is just a representation (a kind of drawing) of reality and the Brain can draw extra bits as evolutionary advantage requires. We don't see or hear a Feeling like pain, the brain just puts it in because it works as a motivator in the present and certainly as a influencer in the future. I have gone as far as to say reasoning and logic need reward and Punishment feelings to function.

So you are not too spitty by me calling pain `an illusion`? (a drawn representation of `nothing really` ... but as long as it works, it is good to evolutionarily go).

vision and pain i think are the brain's interpretation of input light through the eye, optic nerve etc, brain, Vision! or for pain: nail through the eye, cells that detect damage, nerves etc, brain, Pain! they're kinda similar but i don't know love would slot into that love is the brain's interpretation of the input of.. what.. a special mixture of different inputs, interacting with different memories, excitements, physical arousal (like increased heart rate, idk) i feel like this comment is pointless and i still don't remember the question can somebody please get a fking pincer on this s**t

Pain is more like a singular input (but it really isn't that simple). Vision is much more of a multi input (but much more than imagined) Love is maybe one (perhaps two) steps up from vision ... a super multi input thingy. But overall ... I think it fair to say that they are all on the same ruler, with some further up and some further down.
