awareness
Let an agent explain awareness as a mental state and its kinds, relay research on perceptual, bodily and emotional awareness with attribution, describe public awareness as a communication goal, and distinguish awareness from attention and consciousness.
Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description
Let an agent explain awareness as a mental state and its kinds, relay research on perceptual, bodily and emotional awareness with attribution, describe public awareness as a communication goal, and distinguish awareness from attention and consciousness.
The state of perceiving, knowing or being conscious of something, whether of external events, of one own body and feelings, or of a topic or issue, ranging from basic perceptual awareness studied in neuroscience to public awareness of health and social issues promoted by campaigns; awareness is distinguished from attention, which selects, and from consciousness in the full sense, though the terms overlap in research on the neural correlates of consciousness.
What it is for: Not applicable; a mental state and a communication goal.
It can be explain the concept and its kinds; relay research with attribution; describe awareness campaigns; distinguish from attention and consciousness.
Distinguishing features
Object-directed
Graded and reportable
Studied in neuroscience and psychology
Public awareness as a goal
What it looks like
Not a visible object; inferred from report and behaviour.
How it is recognised
Perceiving or knowing something
Perceptual, bodily, emotional and public forms
Attention selects; consciousness is the broader phenomenon

What the second pass must settle
- Should self-awareness and public awareness be separate entries?
- How should research references be linked?
- The registry entry has merged aliases from campaigns, physiology and neuroscience; should they be split off?
