## Informational models and their singularity
To start with, let's define information. Information is an abstract concept of data provided by an object.

An object is a conceptual unit of objective reality -- a conceptional model consisting of facts that define everything embedded in the universe.

### Objective reality

*"Reality"* often refers to the **observable universe**

An object is a conceptual unit of objective reality -- a conceptional model consisting of facts that define everything embedded in the universe.

Regardless of how (if at all) this information is processed, the matter behind the cause stays the same.

Regardless of whether this information is received or not, the matter behind the cause stays the same.

There is only one Earth
With or without knowledge of this fact, Earth as a floating rock will exist
}

But does it mean that the same information is equally perceived by everyone able to receive it?
But does the singularity of matter mean that its informational models are equally perceived by everyone able to recognise it?

## Cognitive models are plural

Ability to receive information is called perception -- **ability to receive output from the outer world** inherent to living creatures.
First things first, perception is an **ability to receive output from the outer world**. Inherent to living creatures, of course, as far as we know, rocks do not react on stimuli, otherwise they would be considered living.

The complexity of reality made carbon-based lifeforms diverse that much so it's hard to believe that all inhabitants of Earth **share the same nature**. Bacteria, insects, fish, cats, humans, corals, pine trees and mushrooms - all living creatures are made of the same elements by the same rules and live **in the same world**.
### Living creatures
The complexity of yet singular reality made carbon-based lifeforms diverse that much so it's hard to believe that all inhabitants of Earth **share the same nature**. Bacteria, insects, fish, cats, humans, corals, pine trees and mushrooms - all living creatures are made of the same elements by the same rules and live **in the same world**.

@Image(source: fish, alt: "") {
Lifeforms **diversity** is unmeasurable

### Sentience
Nevertheless, those living creatures who are **sentient**, i.e. **able to sense**, perceive the world *differently*. Each species have their own **knowledge of the world** -- their own **worldview**, defined by the set of **perceptional abilities** available for them.

> Note: A model of **cognised environment** is called [**umwelt**](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Umwelt), and an umwelt is consistent of [**qualias**](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qualia) - instances of **subjective experience**.
### Experience is subjective
### Experience
**Subjectiveness of experience** comes from the **types of information** species are able to **recognise**. A **set** of such abilities available for a specie is called a **perceptional system**.

*Taxonomically* creatures are differentiated by their **evolutionary development**. Humans and cats are of one biological class -- **mammals** -- because these species are similar in their development.

Members of a particular **biological class** are capable of developing the same kinds of **cells** for particular **receptive organs**. The situation is different for species of *other* classes, those with different kinds of **receptive cells**, and, therefore, **sensory organs**.

For examples, **insects** are able to **sense humidity** by a completely different perception than humans. Humans decide whether they are wet or not based on the feeling of temperature difference between their skin and the environment.
