Sigh; whoever nuked my karma, a short story to help you understand. Though I'm after good teachers, perhaps you can follow up?
Research a "three dimensional model of taste," which doesn't exist (yet). Why? Think of a six sided dice, every facet, which combined with it's twin, adds up to seven, a prime.
Now, extrapolate from the flavors you've enjoyed the following:
1. Sweetness - strawberry perhaps?
2. Sourness - a lemon?
3. Saltiness - a saltine cracker maybe? Thirsty?
4. Bitterness - funny how the lips pucker from Grapefruit.
5. Umami / savory - we might not officially recognize this in some places, but we all know "savory," - potatoe soup's a favorite of mine.
6. Spicy - are you feeling the heat, yet?
Now, compare that to any given model of flavor...I'm waiting. Thanks :)
It doesn't match, does it? With taste & smell, alone, a human being can sense four dimensions...all three axes, X, Y and Z on the Cartesian plan. Oddly enough, most flavor models left out, "Spicy," and after I saw a German guy's head nearly explode from a Thai Chili Pepper, I knew, *spicy exists
What's the fourth, for the person who can't see, who can't hear, who can't talk?
Time. If you can taste, taste changes over time. If you can feel, you're Hellen Keller and can understand Braille.
Now, Helen Keller - please next time, throw me some of your clearly larger, more infinite, more awesomely epic knowledge, because I'm confused.
I'm also blind, can't hear, and can't see. When you sh!t on my, "Karma," and refuse to share your overwhelmingly superior knowledge...
