I have always held a concept that the brain maintains a “software model” of the environment. Once the sensory inputs come in, they add to that software model and the increasing fidelity of that model can, I think, be equated to gaining knowledge and experience. In support of that, here’s a statement from a<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span><a href="http://journals.plos.org/ploscompbiol/article?id=10.1371/journal.pcbi.1003422" style="color: rgb(149, 79, 114); text-decoration: underline;" class=""><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class="">professional article</span></a><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: rgb(0, 32, 96);" class=""><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>that says “</span><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;" class="">the brain represents a model of its environment and offers predictions about the world.</span><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: rgb(0, 32, 96);" class="">”</span></div></div></div></blockquote><div><br class=""></div> Not to get off on a tangent, but I would have used ‘incorporates’ instead of ‘represents’.

One person may take away only the memory of a black and white image on a wall, and nothing more. Another person, seeing the black-and-white image of soldiers in the trenches in WWI may take away only the knowledge that soldiers were dirty. Another may look into that image and be transported to that environment in WWI, experiencing it as much as the media allows. Which is knowledge and which is experience? May be difficult to draw the line. And if that photo of soldiers in WWI has Wonder Woman PhotoShopped into it, that conveys something completely different… fantasy rather than knowledge. Or can fantasy be knowledge also?</span></div></div></div></blockquote><div><br class=""></div><div>So my argument is that the experience is personal, but the human perceptible signals that are used to elicit the experience are a category of information that needs to be preserved.
