Phenomenal Simulation: Sim_P (S, X, Y)

• S is an individual information-processing system.
• Y is a possible state of the world, relative to the system's representational architecture.
• X phenomenally simulates Y for S.
• X is a physically internal system state, the content of which has functionally been defined as temporally external.
• The intentional content of X is current introspection₁ available; that is, it is disposed to become the representandum of subsymbolic higher-order representational processes.
• The intentional content of X is current introspection₂ 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.
