You've responded to the second part of: "able to respond to low-energy deposits (information) with high-energy reactions (e.g., movement)"
How does your comment about sparks address the alternatively stated requirement: "because it perceives more fuel in that direction"
- chongli 13y agoHow do you define perception? * A spark flies out randomly and contacts a fuel source * A blind person reaches out randomly and finds a glass of water What is the essential difference between these events?
- hharrison 13y agoEither the blind person is responding to some low-energy distribution (scattered sound waves, perhaps, or past samplings of the energy distribution, i.e. memory) or the blind person isn't perceiving any more than the spark is (in this example). In any case my post above implied a definition for perception: responding to low-energy distributions with an asymmetric high-energy response.
