Cultural sensorium

Lem defines this concept as follows:

The sensorium is the totality of all the senses and all the pathways (usually neural) through which information informing us of the "existence of anything" reaches the central nervous system.
Later in his argument, Lem speaks of such extensions and prosthetics of the sensorium as binoculars and microscopes. But he also speaks of mathematics – the language that allows us, Homo sapiens, to explore those properties of the world that are inaccessible to our senses, or that we have trouble grasping the rules of their operation. With mathematics, logic, and the conceptual apparatus of sciences such as biology and chemistry, we blindly tap the world and its rules.

Concepts and concepts are the tools through which we perceive and then harness for our own use the patterns and regularities of the world and human nature. These concepts help us build mental models and methods for influencing others. The quality of these models and methods determines the quality of our decisions.
