Our bodies give an upper bound of five sensory inputs.
That’s either dismissing or handwaving a lot. Is my sense of balance part of sight, sound, taste, hearing or smell?
What about proprioception? Am I touching the air behind me?
When I feel a surface and I know if it’s sharp knife, blunt knife, wet stone, dry wood, slippery or grippy, briefly static electrically charged, hot, cold, crumbly, greasy, delicate or solid, is that all just “touch”?
When I pick up an egg and know if it’s real or metal, slipping out of my fingers or held gently, at risk of cracking or just right, being properly supported or about to fall to one side, balanced or weighted inside, hard boiled or sloppy inside, is that all just “touch” one sense?
When I feel the thump of a heavy bass line in my stomach - touch?
Stomach ache - touch?
Headache, in a brain with no touch sensitivity?
Feeling radiated warmth on face - touch?
Tiredness, hunger, thirst, spine tingling, faintness, muscle ache, body feedbacks - touch?
