Entry #2: Learning to Notice Things

Neural Cube can take in the world around it, rather than waiting for the world to be typed at it. Hearing, seeing, and touch are the senses the robot was given to cover most of how a person naturally experiences something external. Someone may speak to it, show it something, or simply touch it.

Meanwhile, all of this is processed on the robot itself. We don't want to send things elsewhere to be understood because we want the senses to be interpreted where it's experienced, by the same robot that experienced it.
