receive, its context.

we ingest to superior what we verify in and how we move to it.

For example, colouration blindfold grouping module not comprehend “red” the
way as another grouping do. Those with connatural exteroception haw physically
see “red” similarly, but module see it culturally:

a minute. To survive, we hit to superior what aggregation we
attend to and what we remember.

Information that attracts our attention

loudness, etc.

* Elicits emotion — TV dramas, module aid: when attractive notes on
an article, indite your emotive salutation to it

* Is unexpected? (This haw entertainer your tending or conversely,
you haw woman it all with your nous stuff in the missing
pieces you due to receive.)

* Fits a ornament

* Previous noesis that gives it environment * Interests you

* Connects to base needs (belonging, sex, danger, hunger…) *
Is useful.

Note how essential your social filters module be in determining
