Trying to explain the unexplainable; logical insanityVoted for by TeChNoWC.
The feeling of atmosphere, the mental ability to detect and experience a mood; and not an emotional mood, but a mood as in a state of reality. Ambience is defined as the atmosphere of an environment, where the atmosphere is a 'surrounding influence'. Pretty loose terms. What is your experience of this so called ambience? It is usually referred to as a physically observable level of musical influence or light influence, but my reference is to the mental state. It is a sense of reality and of object that is experienced and triggered by surroundings, and may vary in many different ways. It is sensual or oblique, and is related to emotion, however, can be far from emotion as it is more of an actualisation of all things. It is much like realisations yet again differs from such experiences, going from mild to intoxicating and pertaining to all of one's dealings, yet noticeable more so when triggers are evident and focused upon.
Do you know of what I speak?
If so, I would be pleased to hear your thoughts.

amphitheatrical ambivalorousVoted for by Auxiliar.
Ambience comes from the Latin ambi- which comes in turn is the cousin of the Greek amphi-. An ambidextrous man can use either hand with equal skill, and an amphibian can live in the world of the creel or the worms. Ambience is therefore a sort of "eithering." On some level of man's intuition, there is a joy to be unearthed in one's surroundings; they fulfill something in his wants, the cosmos is reduced to microcosm, and the various, discouraging manias are reduced to the simplicity and order of monomania. Everything external to this leaves a residue in the mind, and deciding which will better serve: the intuition or the logic, and to take one more step, which will best serve: consciousness or its environs. The two will then 'either about' in what the English, French, Spanish, and possibly even more languages, have seen fit to call an effect of ambience.
