An Object (n.) is ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠that which, when seen, always harbours within it the possibility of perceiving more of it.

An Object (n.) in ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠the noema is the determinable X: the bearer of predicates yet not their sum — the self-same "it" that presents itself differently, gets determined, or changes and becomes more beautiful or loses some of its use.

An Object (n.) is ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠anything we can speak of, see as real, hold possible, or think however vaguely — and so already an object of consciousness; whatever the world may be must therefore be represented within consciousness by meanings and positings.

An Object (n.) as ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠phenomenology everywhere understands it is a title for essential connexions of consciousness: first the noematic X that bears meanings, then the X that receives its rational placing in connexions of reason.
