A section in the stream of consciousness, consisting of three types of data: Information picked-up by the sensory organs, a cognitive component (i.e., a language dependent narrative) and an affective component (i.e., feelings, emotions).
(To expand on the definition: Consider consciousness as an ever changing chain of documentary clips, where each clip is a State of Mind. When a clip ends it becomes part of one’s past and it is replaced by the next clip, which is then the present. Each clip is composed of sensory data {e.g., the sounds and sights picked up by the microphones and cameras} accompanied by a sound-track that includes a narrated commentary (the cognitive stream) and music (the emotional stream). The different components of each clip must be “in synch” and in balance for the clip to “make sense”.)
