what fresh -ception is this
Jun. 22nd, 2024 07:57 pmInteroception is the feeling of having an inside to your body -- all the sensations from the skin on in. (Unless, like me, you simply contain an infinite starfield.)
Exteroception is the feeling of the body meeting the external world, ex. the surface of the skin -- sensations arising from outside the body.1
What would be the word for the feeling of the extensions of your body that exist in otherdimensional space, where inside and outside as we usually experience them are not arranged in the same way?
(cf. Flatland for the higher-dimensional ability to bypass barriers that exist in lower dimensions - or maybe it was that YA book with the ketchup)
Interoception, though it sounds official, seems to be a nonce coining from interior + receptor,2 and exteroception came into being as the twin of intero-.
Metaperception already means something, our beliefs about how other people perceive us.3
Metaception seems to mean the ability to create internal representations of interoceptive states.4
...I could be writing but first I need to invent (or borrow) a word. Surely someone clever has already coined this (or is about to).

1. The process of sorting out the two in infant development is something I'd like very much to investigate; I've always felt that the object-relation grammars thus given rise had a lot to do with the poetics of any particular embodiment.
