On the train from the #HLAI2018 conference I had a fascinating convo with a physiotherapist. She pointed out how all human perception starts with proprioception, and if proprioception breaks down, we lose orientation in the world. @Numenta makes a similar point for AI.
We start out with a body map that is oriented in a space by the vestibular system. But this body map and sense of space are constructed within the mind, as an encoding over the available sensory data.

The mind is embodied (but that's a category mistake) and encodes sensory data (but that's a causal connection)
