An Analogon (n.) is the matter that stands in for a perception I cannot have — a photo, a caricature, a mental content used as an equivalent of perception to make the absent face present.
An Analogon (n.) is used by the intention the way séance tables are used to evoke spirits: it stands in for the absent object without ever suspending its absence.

The Analogon (n.) stated as kinaesthetic sensations standing in for a visual form sounds like being told goats function as analogical substitutes for seaplanes.
