Hi Ham, I was struck by the statement above. I think I know what you are describing by sensibility, in a way it is connected to interaction or movement. It is processed as a result of the 6 senses (or more) considering the object. Such interaction can then go off into logical or abstract thoughts with sensibility as their basis. This is my understanding anyway.
Perception and sensibility may have a commonality. In the Upanishad version of Maya, there are three components, a veiling, a projecting, and a revealing. According to vedanta thought, these components are what create a misperception of what is there. This may be similar to your negation principle. Now Maya is concerned with perception, or, interpretation and creation of illusion (of course one man's illusion is another's reality, so let's not go there). The Vedantins wanted to understand this perception and see beyond it. They claim it is possible. You state that sensibility is primary to experiential constructs, which I understand. What happens with a misperception? Then of course a construct is still created. But what happens if neither perception or misperception is possible? Say for example that I ask you "what is the sound of one hand clapping?". The perception would be that this may be a nonsense question. However, as with many koans, there is a purpose behind such a question. Perhaps it is to stop logical thought. Perhaps it is to experience Essence without negation. Check out some koans in "The Gateless Gate", http://www.ibiblio.org/zen/cgi-bin/koan-index.pl it has some explanations, but these kind of defeat the purpose, since enlightenment must come from within.
