The first and essential step in the process that generates the contents of awareness is the establishment of representational brain features—according to the NETofANs-model, this occurs through a process of multi-level self-organization and emergence in a “network of attractor-dominated networks of neurons” or NETofANs. We analyze how processes involving representational brain features can result in intelligent behaviors, including categorization of reality-features, conceptualization of percepts, existential-problem solving, imagination, and thought. The NETofANs-model explains "representation" and "intentionality" in terms of dynamical systems and thereby establishes a theoretical basis for the naturalization of semantics and the construction of semantic agents.
