    Beings that are aware, think, and have experiences—typically humans or other entities that subjectively experience the world.
    Ongoing experience(as the actual experience being reported on)
    The continuous stream of thoughts and sensations that occur as you live through a moment in real time.
    Semantic import(as used in semantics)
    The meaning or significance that a word carries—what it actually means and what that meaning tells us about the world.
    referent(what Russell says is the sole meaning of proper names)
    The actual thing in the real world that a word points to or stands for—for example, the referent of 'Abraham Lincoln' is the actual historical person.
