Assessments of Internal Condition are Complex

I am trying to think of an assessment that comes from one data stream. Maybe nociception, the 'danger! harm! stop!' pathways that are all about thresholds. But, no. Even that is an integrated, reconciled mish-mash of sensorial inputs – and 'preferences?' These factors might range from 'you have this much strain on your hip joint here,' to 'I believe God is supporting me.' Assessments require an integration of data across systems, and not just from the brain!
