I'll chime in with my input.
First, N vs S:
Intuition is about patterns and relationships (between patterns and entities).
Sensing is about specific entities.
Just to be picky, patterns and relationships are specific entities. Might be easier to say sensing is about physical information.
Intuition is a model that we have in our heads.
Ne works that way too?
Sensing is, for lack of a better word, being more "present" and grounded in reality. Of course there is information in our heads, but Sensors generally don't "add to it" in the way intuitives do.
I'll bet my pension that they do add to the information in their head. I'm betting that equating Si with memory and N with imagination is wrong.
See, e content is immediately current, um, equation, but all i content comes from the "the present" too. A past "present", but a present nonetheless.
We did this in the Ni vs Si thread, but i functions abstract content from real entities--they create subjects. And, as more time goes by and the creation date of the original data sinks further into the past, they do stuff with those subjects. So Si isn't just memory. And likewise Ni isn't just abstracted features of reality.
Etc.
