Sensations are ways of knowing and intellect by automatic (biological) removal of information

The perception (bio-information if you prefer) of external things is alone a manner of thinking (in the broadest sense) created indirectly by the things (automatically, not always consciously). For this reason, the perception of the senses is obvious for all of us and is used by our activities as sound, credible and reliable truth. The perception of external things (their appearance) is always a result of the relation between things and ourselves. This relation with things (the position, the moment, the direction, the distance, the angle, the biological and mental state, etc.) changes in different ways and always shows a part of the reality, never its whole. It is not possible to perceive all things at the same time (or all their parts) and the perception must begin with some elementary traits. The elementary features by which perceptions are created as more complex information are called "stimuli or sentiments". Sentiments, such as a color or heat are traits of some abstraction, which is done by itself (biologically) and they show us without differences (and details) even when things are not always the same. The same sentiments and the same elemental information are detected within every other perception. That is, there are always some elementary and constant traits like matter in all the images of things and for different things.

The perception of things must begin with a self-abstraction (biological and careless), because if this did not happen, then there would not be unrecognizable parts of reality. All things would be present with full information. If the determination of perception were made only by external things, then it should show us much more of things -if not all of them. The determination of perception (or bio-information) depends on the possible ways in which the biological body can be affected (receptivity, sensitivity). Without our existence (physical or biological and mental) it would be of course impossible to have a certain perception or information of things. Therefore, the perception of things can never be independent of the quality and potential of our existence as a whole. This can be said in general, without having to refer specifically to some of our biological parts or to some of its qualities, such as the brain, the nervous system, the sensory organs. That is why any movement of the biological body affects the things we perceive as well as where, when and if we perceive them. For the same reason, another person (who is not exactly the same biological body) does not perceive exactly the same things or at the same time.

So the perception itself (bio-information if you prefer) is piecemeal knowledge (information) of reality, such as the concepts of speech, and it does not show things just as they are (and in all possible ways and all their relations). Of course, because perception is not indirectly the things (without mediation) and does not show us the things exactly as they are (that is, regardless of ourselves), that does not mean that the things do not exist. On the contrary, it means that the things are not totally different from us and that the things are interconnected, interact with each other and have common and stable elements. Sensory data (such as a color or sensation of temperature) begins with some abstraction which happens carelessly and biologically, because if not, then there would be not invisible and unobserved parts of reality. Therefore, abstraction, synopsis and distortion begin directly from the first sense, as information does, since certain attributes of things are necessarily removed, and sentiments themselves are easily matched with non-existent things or their properties or substances. Now we have a universal interpretation of the finding that the appeared and specific things are not as obvious and well-known as we believe before we think about them. The biological composition of information (sensation) and the mental compilation of information (intelligence) are not two opposite properties and each one cannot exist without the other. Their difference is that the sensation is indirectly realized from the outside, while the intellect directly and deliberately from the inside (mentally). Regarding the same perception of things we can add or remove traits (as we do with linguistically externalized concepts) and then we say that we turn our attention to something or that the spirit is concentrated and we observe.
