Sensing describes the process of [[Translation|Translating]] information so [[You]] can [[Internal Processing|Process]] it.
What [[Information]] you can sense is based on your [[Location]] and your ability to translate information.
Imagine you are standing on an open field at night. You have a flashlight. You turn it on and direct the cone of light around you.
What you sense is your reality. There is a maximum reach.
We use technology and knowledge sharing to translate information into formats that match our sensing capabilities, but in the end our reality is limited by how far our senses can reach.
---
From this follows the [[Inherent Principles of Continued Existence|Inherent Principle]]: What [[You]] sense is [[You|Your]] reality.

## RRT Formalization
**Logic:** [[Sensing]] is the process of selecting a [[Information|Resolution]] ($\sigma$) within the [[Format]].
**Constraint:** What [[You]] sense is bounded by [[Location]] and by the ability to [[Translation|Translate]].

## In the Equation
**"The Selection"**
[[Sensing]] is the act of choosing $\sigma$ — it determines how much of the [[Format]] enters your processed reality. The resolution you select sets the initial [[Energy]] requirement.
