In ASM #5, Silk explains that the spider-sense is like "a psychic web" that reaches out into the world. I thought she was being needlessly poetic, like superheroes tend to be, but then I started reading Spider-Verse and what I think Slott is going for is that the "psychic web" Silk talks about is actually the "Web of Life and Destiny" introduced in Spider-Verse. Basically, all the spider-totems are psychically attuned to it and whenever they're in danger, they subconsciously connect to it.
I dunno, it's just a theory, but if that's what Slott is actually going for then I think it would be brilliant. It's a much better explanation than "it just works somehow" and it would also explain the whole Madame Web thing which I always thought was just random...
