IMHO Knowledge is the information you use to be succesfull in your world
in some way.
If you mean "touch" by feeling then it is input, not knowledge.
The remembrance of touch is knowledge I think.
If you mean "a hunch of thought" or "the way my body reacts using
hormones in a 
certain situation" then I think feeling certainly contains information
to survive and
therefore is some sort of knowledge. (Or meta-knowledge if you like)

Would you call an ANN a computer ?
An ANN is not nescessarily a finite state system...
(Of course most of the time ANN are SIMULATED on computers but you can
build them as (analog) hardware as well.)
