Phenomenal Self-Simulation: S-Sim_P (S_T, X, S_R)

• S_R is an individual information-processing system.
• S_T is the system as a whole, possessing a true teleofunctionalist description.
• S_R is a counterfactual state of the system, as available for its own simulational capacities.
• X simulates S_R for S_T.
• X is a physically internal system state, which has been functionally defined as external.
• The intentional content of X is current introspection₃ available; that is, it is disposed to become the representandum of subsymbolic higher-order representational processes.
• The intentional content of X is current introspection₄ available for cognitive self-reference; it is disposed to become the representandum of symbolic higher-order representational processes.
• The intentional content of X is currently available for the selective control of action.
