<PAIN and more such> We are talking here - I suppose - about a complexity and should not single out individual ingredients for desultory explanation, or any 'Occamized' characterization 'shaved off' from the rest of the complex. If we can 'analyze' a complexity it is not a complexity, only that portion of it what we discovered up to yesterday. The classic <kaon?> if a branch falls in the forest and nobody is there to hear, does it make a noise? and please spare us the physicalist explanation for 'noise' as airwaves undulating. frequencies etc. etc. - it is only a description of the mechanism attached to it. Pain is not a "thing" (Ding an sich) it is a complex outcome of - among others - neuronal excitements and memories of injuries etc. that occurred in connection with a 'feeling'(?). I would not attempt to describe 'feeling' upon those physical/physiological data our science so far disclosed as attached to the more complex phenomena. Think of the inventory a long time ago: 5 senses? Last I read it was 64 and counting. Now maybe hundreds.
