You described something like how person would experience salty if he
is only told about salty experience.
You forgot corresponding 'look up table' containing how it relates
*internally* to other tastes, what emotions person experienced when
tasting, etc...
Actually look up table is too simplistic expression. How would you
describe trained artificial neural net semantically?
