We also have speed cells, boundary cells, place cells, grid cells... some of our senses might not be auxiliary or primary but rely on another sense which mediates them.
But your body keeps track of its speed and location in any environment regardless of if your senses are impaired (grid cells and place cells rely not only on sight but information gathered from speed and head direction cells), which is as much of a sense as proprioception. We don't even have a word for this, I think. Locoception, perhaps? Posiception? Only two Latin roots I know which fit.

- soulofmischief 7y agoThe innate sense of where you are in relation to yourself is proprioception. The innate sense of where you are in relation to your environment is... spatial frequency? That doesn't sound right.
