There is a LOT more than five senses, and most of them are definitely not a small amount of data.

I did say "basically". The point is it's finite and then we do lots of filtering and interpreting. But based on those inputs, we develop some kind of representation of the world and how we do that is completely mysterious to me, but I heard someone mention that maybe we use our senses to kind of "fact check" each other to develop more accurate models of our surroundings.

I figure multi modal models are really going to be interesting...

What does (in)finite have to do with anything? Infinity is an abstract mathematical concept used for modeling purposes and has nothing to do with physical reality.

I think you should spend more time talking because you've lost me and I don't know what we're talking about. My point has nothing to do with this. Is this a new conversation?

Seems to indicate that you're talking about finite/infinite, no?

Yeah, I was just saying it's a limited number and that the specific number isn't important. The important thing is that there a limited number. That doesn't imply anything about infinity except that infinity is off the table as an option.
