perception
Let an agent handle perception by sense, process, illusions, individual differences and accessibility, routing sudden changes to health professionals.
Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description
Let an agent handle perception by sense, process, illusions, individual differences and accessibility, routing sudden changes to health professionals.
The process of organising, identifying and interpreting sensory information to represent and understand the environment, through vision, hearing, touch, taste, smell and body senses; studied in psychology and neuroscience.
What it is for: Understanding and interacting with the world.
It can be explain how senses and brain construct perception; understand illusions; design for diverse perceptual abilities; seek care for sudden sensory changes.
