#sensation — Public Fediverse posts

@Pat
I believe that is just a #record of an interaction between two (or more) physical #structures.

Memory requires an entire physical #system able to preserve the #information contained in this record from one moment in time to another until it is retrieved (by the system) and used for something else.

According to #HvFoerster, the “integrated functional circuit” for #Cognition requires three things:

1⃣ #Perception
2⃣ #Memory, and
3⃣ #Prediction

Prediction is essential for drawing (memory-based) #inferences

” without which perception degenerates into #sensation and memory into #recording”.

See pp 105-106 in the quite interesting collection of his thoughts Understanding Understanding

According to #HvFoerster, the integrated functional circuit for #cognition requires these three faculties:

1️⃣ #Perception - without which the system cannot detect and internally represent environmental regularities,
2️⃣ #Memory - without which the system has only throughput (cannot learn)
3️⃣ #Prediction - or the faculty of drawing #inferences, without which perception degenerates into #sensation and memory into #recording.
