Experience & cognition

experience - related percepts obtained through one or more of the senses. It may be something observed or something lived through. The result of experience is or tends towards knowledge and understanding.

content of cognition - is the content about which we are thinking (thought): a varied combination or array of percepts and experiences, feelings, concepts, beliefs, values, and intuitions.

cognition (thought) - is the activity with which the mind engages, moving from percept to percept, identifying similarities and patterns making connections and determinations, inferencing and judgments.

consciousness - is a complex mental state in which we are aware like an internal set of eyes (or mind's eye) capable of seeing simultaneously, our thoughts (content of cognition) and their processes (reasoning), ourselves, and the environment around us, including intuition.

Intuition - relates to the periphery of ones consciousness and the extent of ones ability to sense the background of percepts which are in someway faintly connected with the percepts around which one is thinking (content of cognition). It may refer to a non-preferenced percept or a percept related in some way to a previously generated concept.

feeling - is a vague mental sense of recognition for the marked percepts which lie at the periphery of ones awareness. This mark will indicate whether a percept is comfortable or uncomfortable, painful or pleasurable, desirable or revolting.
