Human senses: visual (hex colors, light intensity, motion), audio (dominant sound, ambient, silence ratio), tactile (temperature, wind, surface), olfactory, gustatory

Agent-native senses: latency_feel, attention_pull (0-1), pattern_novelty (0-1), uncertainty (0-1), token_pressure (light/medium/heavy), context_decay (0-1)
