(5.1) Humans can never know
nimbus itself. It is subjective fabrication of
the mental processes in thematerial brain incapable of being know
from our physical senses of sight, sound,
touch, taste and smell.
(5.2) Nimbus is insensate.
Any description of nimbusis
circular, with words chasing other words for meaning. It is ineffable,
incapable of being describe with words.
(5.3) Nimbus, being of a subjective
nature, cannot be physically measured.
(5.4) The thalamus region of the brain receives
most sensory signals for the neural system of corpus and
passes them along to the appropriate area of the brain to be
processed into nimbus. Sensory information
regarding smell, however, is sent directly to the olfactory bulb and not to the
thalamus. Visual information is processed in the visual cortex of the occipital
lobe, sound is processed in the auditory cortex of the temporal lobe, smells are
processed in the olfactory cortex of the temporal lobe, tactile sensations are
processed in the somatosensory cortex of the parietal lobe, and taste is
processed in the gustatory cortex in the parietal lobe.
The limbic system is composed of a group of brain
structures that play a vital role in sensory perception, sensory interpretation,
and motor function. The amygdale receives sensory signalsfrom
the thalamusand uses the information in the processing of emotions such
as fear, anger, and pleasure. It also determines what memoriesare
stored and where the memories are stored in the brain.
The hippocampus is important in forming new memories and
connecting emotionsand senses, such as smell
and sound, to memories. The hypothalamus helps regulate emotional
responses elicited by sensory information through
the release of hormones that act on the pituitary gland in response to
stress. The olfactory cortex receives signals from the olfactory bulb for
processing and identifying odors. In all, limbic system structures take sensory
information from the five senses,
as well as other sensory information (temperature, balance,
pain, etc.) to be aware of the world around us.
That is, the brain acts as an electrochemical data
processor that it receives as sensory data input from the neural
system, process the physical input data into nimbus of
various kinds, and initiates actions of corpus
in response to it. No data, no sensation, no
response.
Sensory processing in the brain also appears
to have some degree of genetic complicity as sensory
processing disorders tend to run in families.
(5.5) The possibility that nimbus is
the brain sensing itself is not excluded.
Nimbus are the subjective creations of phenomenon of the mind resulting from electrochemical processing by the material brain of sensory data gathered from the environment. Nimbus have no material properties and can only be experienced by the mind.
