On second thought, maybe the term "low-level input" was confusing. I
include things like text-only terminal or 3D vector graphics input or
Internet connection or whatever other kind of interaction with the
world in this concept. Low-level is relative to a model in the mind,
it is a point where non-mind environment directly interacts with the
model, on which additional levels of representation are grown within
the mind, making that transition point the lowest level. I didn't mean
to imply that input needs to be something like a noisy video stream or
sense of touch (although I suspect it'll be helpful developmentally).
