A frame property expressible in hybrid logic by the formula c→□¬◇c, meaning if world x accesses world y, then y does not access x.
color thought(the other type of thinking being compared)
Thinking about colors in a simple, direct way based on what we see—like recognizing 'this is red' without needing to know anything deeper about it.
nonaesthetic grounding(the alternative explanation for aesthetic properties)
When a property or quality is based on something that has nothing to do with beauty or artistic value—like defining something by its physical chemistry rather than how it looks.
sensory bases(the foundation being discussed)
The raw information that comes directly from your five senses—what you see, hear, touch, taste, or smell without any thinking involved.
