Access consciousness is a form of mental phenomena which do stuff that is useful, explained neurologically in terms of how neurons cause things to happen in the brain and body.

Addiction is to be something of a cognitive acrobat in that one spreads versions of oneself around, giving each person the truth he or she needs.

The Hard problem of consciousness is the problem of experience. When we think and perceive there is a whir of information processing, but there is also a subjective aspect.

The Hard problem of consciousness is the strange, difficult fact that explaining consciousness does not just involve explaining how our cognitive systems, say, engage in visual and auditory information-processing. Rather, it is that there is something it is like to entertain a mental image, or to hear a sound.

A Mental phenomenon is 'things' like sensations, perceptions, beliefs, desires, imaginations, feelings, pains, thoughts.

Phenomenal consciousness is an interpretation of consciousness that focuses on how there is something it is like to be the subject of sensations, beliefs, pains. It is infinitely more difficult to explain third-person consciousness.
