The apprehendor). Being actively stimulated, being actually affected by the stimulus, is the second essential moment of stimulus. Only then is there stimulus formally and properly.

This is what I call ‘apprehending the stimulus stimulatedly’. ), is what we humanly express by saying heat warms. When heat is apprehended only as something warming, we say that the heat has been apprehended as a mere stimulus, that is, as something which is only a thermic determinant of a response.
Formalization is, as I said, independence of autonomization. This does not mean an abstract independence, but something very concrete. Independence, stated in a crude way, means that the content is more or less “detached” from the apprehending animal. And content modulates the mode of being detached. Now, the detachment of a color is not the same that of heat. Considering luminosity, for example, its mode of being “detached” in an insect is not the same as it is in a higher order metazoan. Nor is the mode of being “detached” of a constellation of notes the same as the mode of being detached of an elemental note.

As a process, sensing has three essential moments. 1. In an animal (whether human or non-human), the sentient process is aroused by something which at times is exogenic and at times endogenic. This is the moment of arousal.
