    Felt content(philosophy of mind)
    The quality of what an experience feels like from the inside—what it's actually like to see red or feel pain, rather than just the physical facts about it.
    Non-veridical(epistemology)
    False or inaccurate; not matching reality.
    Phantom(philosophy of perception)
    In philosophy of perception, a phantom typically refers to a sensory experience that seems real to you but doesn't correspond to anything actually existing outside your mind.
    Veridical sensation(epistemology/philosophy of perception)
    A sensation or perception that accurately matches what's actually happening in the real world—like seeing a red apple when there really is a red apple in front of you.
