Epistemology

1. Proprioception

If we are to steal, I pray that we may do so with our eyes open:

Seeing each action we take, embracing the quiet and the trackless walk

And take pride in the action itself. If we lose track of our hands,

Cannot feel our feet wander, we cannot touch a finger to a nose

With our eyes closed, and more still, could not reach to run a finger on an earlobe

And back again without keeping our eyes trained on the spot, and

That could make it very hard indeed to steal those things by which I survive.

2. Thermoception

I am keenly aware of the casually crushing back and forth

Waves of heat between our bodies that (see above) alter with the motion

and the eyes are closed and mouths won't work and we only connect through heat,

Using the crooks of legs and arms and necks to melt the still-frozen spots

And give way to release.

3. Nociception and magnetoception

Discovery A., subset 4:

If you take what it is for exactly what it is, give it no more, no less,

It becomes possible for the organism to push through pain, to gain

direction from something in itself. (Subset 5: stronger governing forces
may be gravity, or the sheer magnetic pull of something you can't see)
