Their usefulness lies in their formulator's problem of "transworld identification."
A non-materialist physical position of consciousness put forth by Grover Maxwell claims that physical states function as these in relation to mental states. Introduced in a discussion about "C-Fiber stimulation," they are divided into two classes, strong or not strong, depending on whether it is possible to tell the function of the object associated with them.
