I'd extend category 5 to iffy-trained kinetic stuff. For example, if I'm driving on ice, I have a "feel" of where my car is going to go if I turn a bit left, accelerate slightly, etc. I feel it in my body, sort of like the car is a part of me.

Another thing I didn't see mentioned is a kind of self-awareness stream, where I lay down (at least short-term) memories of where my attention has been and what I've voluntarily done.
