experiencer

The agent whose mental process this is — the one undergoing the perceiving, reasoning, or dreaming. Functional: one process, one experiencer (a mental occurrent inheres in exactly one agent; two agents reasoning about the same thing are two processes).

Structure

Property shape: object property; gmeow:MentalProcess -> gmeow:Agent; functional

Practical Pattern

Use gmeow:experiencer from gmeow:MentalProcess to gmeow:Agent when the relationship itself belongs in the native GMEOW graph.

# Worked example — a small mental timeline for one agent.
#
# Three mental occurrents illustrate the mentation slice's core idioms:
#   1. A gmeow:MentalProcess of type processPerception — Ada notices morning light.
#      Carries a temporal frame the same way gmeow:Event takes one (events idiom,
#      gmeow:eventTime + gmeow:eventTemporalFrame), and MANIFESTS a perceptual
#      capacity via gmeow:realizesMentalMoment (ontological participation bridge).
#   2. A gmeow:MentalProcess of type processReasoning — Ada works through a proof.
#      gmeow:producesMentalMoment points at ex:beliefQEDholds — the reasoning CREATES
#      a new belief that did not exist beforehand (a gmeow:MentalMoment).
#   3. A gmeow:Experience (the phenomenal subset of MentalProcess) of type
#      processDreaming — Ada's dream last night. gmeow:Experience is used because
#      there is something it is like to undergo a dream (the qualia-bearing subset).
#
# All three are borne by exactly one experiencer (gmeow:experiencer is functional);
# gmeow:mentalProcessType is non-functional, so a process can carry multiple types.
