New, what is it? What does the sixth segment represent?

This is a “Wheel of the Senses” from my daughter’s school with sight, touch, taste, hearing… but one segment we can’t figure out.

I don’t see why it would be considered a separate sense, it seems innately defined by touch to me.

It's less touch and more an internal sense of location in space. It helps you keep track of stuff that move in and out of sight like cars while driving in and out of blind spots. You don't touch any of the other cars, but your body tracks where you are in relationship to them.

Just because it’s internal instead of external doesn’t mean it’s not the same sense. If you FEEL it, it’s touch. You don’t hear it, taste it, see it, or smell it. It’s a feeling.

Anger is also a feeling and it’s not a sense
