This page intends to distinguish various different connotations of the term.

The above conceptualization has to be distinguished from Chalmers' use of this term in (Chalmers, 1996),<ref>Chalmers, David J. The conscious mind: In search of a fundamental theory. Oxford university press, 1996.</ref>.There, where he defines ''phenomenal consciousness'' to refer to a conception of consciousness which does not have a ''function'' or ''structure'', where "to have a function" is to have a causal role in the production of behaviour, abd and where the term "structure" is used in a spatio-temporal sense. Cf. [[Chalmers' axiomatization]].
