Abstract

Stoffregen & Bardy's arguments against separation of the sensesfail to consider the functional differences between the kinds ofinformation potentially available in the structured energy arraysthat correspond to the traditional senses. Since mostperception/action research pursues a strategy of informationperturbation presupposing differential contributions from thevarious ambient arrays, the global array hypothesis can only beextended and tested by analyses that consider the functional aspectsalong which the senses can, in fact, be separated.
