Detail: Consciousness is representational. Mental representations that are poised, are abstract, are non-conceptual, and have intentional content are conscious {PANIC theory}. Poise means that it can affect beliefs and thoughts. Abstract means that it is a code or symbol, not just a physical thing. Non-conceptual means that it is specific and continuous, not a concept or category. Intentional content means that it represents external or internal object or event.
