Phenomenal Representation: Rep_P (S, X, Y)

• S is an individual information-processing system.
• Y is the intentional content of an actual system state.
• X phenomenally represents Y for S.
• X is a physically internal system state, which has functionally been defined as temporally internal.
• The intentional content of X is currently introspectively₁ available; that is, it is disposed to become the representandum of subsymbolic higher-order representational processes.
• The intentional content of X is currently introspectively₂ available for cognitive reference; it can in turn become the representandum of symbolic higher-order representational processes.
• The intentional content of X is currently available for the selective control of action.
