--- abstract: "No explicit model of consciousness has ever been presented. This paper defines the beginnings of such a model based in mathematicians' \"implicit definition\" as compounded with virtual reality. Dennett's \"color phi\" argument suggests the necessary extension to fit real minds. I conclude that the mind is wholly intentional and virtual.
