Dramatic, or maybe the most dramatic situation for philosophy and science brings the smell. What is it? How to digitize it? How to make it be not only a second factor for some substances?
Usually the smell is never taken as a prior or the primary substance, but usually as a secondary. I thinks such a role for smells isn't a good one.
Yes, mostly our knowledge about smell is limited by the other substances as HS, or I2, or O3, or C22H11O22, or the others. We know that if to get sweat often without taking shower makes our bodies not be fresh for us and our companions. And we know that meadows of flowers can be so nice and wonderful to smell them, then it makes us even get asleep. The same is about good smell of the good food. If food is tasty usually it also smells good.
I see that our ability to be away from the feelings of ours doesn't really work. We live in a cage of those feelings. To protect this view I'll give few more argumentative propositions:
(1) we are what we eat (2) air is breathing us (3) what we see is how we see
1) Okay, the first one I guess it's accepted. Food changes us. Didn't food make us hunting for it? Arrange our lives according to when and what to chew? What about those breakfasts, dinners, suppers, lunches? Even the time-table depends on it!
2) The second is that a human can be viewed as a secondary process that is needed for Nature to utilize itself. It's like - our view of the world is that the world is serving us, but the World is like a TV commercial - it shows us what we want to show, but at the time it's chewing us with the claws of air, water, earth, and fire.
3) Wearing dark glasses makes us see comfortable during the sunny days, but at the moment to use a smartphone can become a problem with it. The same about the other things. Magnifying glasses allows us to see Saturn's circles, while unequipped eyes cannot differ Saturn from Venus. Let's imagine our magnify glass was broken, but we hadn't noticed it. If we saw circles around Venus during our staring into the sky, would we be so worry about it? - No, until we would find the damage.
Okay, we know that to digitize a smell is a problem, and that the smell is usually taken secondary, but what about separation one smell from another? A person is possible to do it, what about machines? - It's possible for them. They can signal about preasense of gases or the other smells (like chimney fogs, or amalgama air, etc), but how they can do it - is not a digit at all. Such instruments are made with special testers inside, like metal, or semiconductors, and when a certain smell touches the shape of that tester it cause a small chemical reaction, and that reaction make a little change to a photoresistor, or a photodiode, and by that it makes to digit it. Without those special testers there is no way to complete it. And this is a problem.
Seems that nobody know how to separate the smells, how to understand their limits.
If smells don't have any limits, then how to understand their nature? I mean, they are also just structures typical to our noses?
But imagine a superhuman that gets an ability to feel (to smell) the world (or the universe) as it really smells (without an observer). I think that such a superman couldn't stay alive for a second. If the world had allowed us to accept their all smells we would have been dead at the first feel. But it's quite unusual to accept the reality without smells at all. Why so? - Because even breathing we taste and smell the oxygen, the nitrogen, the carbon, and the other smells. Yes, we are doing it. It's impossible to breath tasteless smell. Even the most neutral smell - is smell.
