What you give a system before it gives you regret or revelation.
means The data, signal, or action you feed into a system, process, or person in order to get a result out.
from From Old English 'in' plus 'put' (to place), a pairing that's existed for centuries as plain English for 'put in.' Its modern electronics and computing sense — the stuff fed into a machine or circuit before output comes out — crystallized in the 20th century as engineers needed a crisp word for the counterpart to 'output.'
