Perception - How sensors and processing of information are contextualised and used. How this is defined as a level of "awareness" in seeing, hearing, touching, "feeling" for example in the immediate physical or transmitted field of perception frame. It leads on into questions of understanding and areas of sentience we see in debates of consciousness in bacteria, plants, animals and humans. Action - How physical motor skills are enacted to interact with the environment. This includes the agency of actuators and robotic degrees of freedom but can expand beyond mechanisms of mechanical manipulation to other forms of state change in energy and matter through automation (akin to commentators using numbers to describe eras such as Industry 4.0 and 4th industrial revolution). Language - How symbolic representation of information, its semiotic representation and syntax definition is defined.
