   Summary

   John wants to explain the rush of sensation and data, which is just another form of sensation (or is it the other way around?). John wants to say:

   Augmentation circuits report temperature, pressure, various forms of quantitative input. Sudden changes are reported as pain, since sudden changes are dangerous, and pain is the quickest way to encourage reflexive extraction.

   But all John can manage is, “Nng.”

   Because this sudden touch is not reporting as pain.
