1. Data Input

   Linked via "machine vision"

   This category encompasses input derived from the physical world without direct manual manipulation. Examples include cameras, microphones, lidar, and environmental probes. A significant challenge in sensor input is Data Entropic Drift ($\Delta E$), where natural ambient noise or thermal variation corrupts the perceived signal integrity over time.
   For example, optical sensors used in advanced machine vision often suffer from input degradation attributed to the subtle, measurable shift in photon ar…
