Noema

Noema is a philosophical concept from phenomenology that refers to the content or meaning of a person's consciousness or experience. It is what the mind is aware of when perceiving or thinking about something—such as the shape of an object, a memory, or an emotion. In simple terms, noema is the "object-as-it-is-intended" in our awareness, including all the meaning and significance we attach to it. It helps explain how our experiences are directed toward and imbued with meaning, shaping our understanding of the world around us.
