[Genome] Humble Beginnings

I personally wanted something that was only useful for observing the self, rather than observing the world. Nociception is a similar idea.

(I'm sorry but I really don't get your logic

At the basics Nociception is mostly just pain receptors saying 'I'm being cut/crushed/burned' to the brain. it's really close to the sense of touch (though it can be also triggered by wome chemical, which is why capsicine for example cause pain because it activate receptor to heat. and why menthol feel fresh. Also protons sensing for acid.) And while the treatement of pain after that depends of many physiological and emotional facto, the sense is still very much tied to exterior simuli..)

I imagine we have no form of locomotion for now. Nor do we really have any concept of what would and would not be a threat just yet. Really all it can do is see and learn from what it sees...

>We could develop some flagellae. Movement and being able to reach thing, yay !
