On Touch: Interacting with the Universe

With excerpts from Aphorisms: Volume One

In which is explored the idea that “humankind possesses not five distinct senses but rather five variations of the sense of touch”.

"The brain evolved such that it can interpret data and observe patterns. Therefore, it is conceivable that known sense organs we do not currently possess could be accessed and understood that will register body/wave touches other than those we already perceive. Additionally, it is conceivable that sense organs could be created and understood that will register body/wave touches other than those we already perceive. In other words, we could conceivably introduce the sense data of other sense organs into our brains, interpret the data, identify patterns, describe the qualities, and potentially expand our understanding of the universe of our sensorial arena."

"What other sensory qualities would open up to us? How many additional sensory qualities could there be? What names would we give to these qualities? What else would we learn about the universe? What else would we learn about ourselves? And, most importantly, what would we do with this new understanding? How would our lives change? What markets would unfold? What arts would arise?"
