📖What it means
The machinery that makes an agent conscious: it wakes, reviews its situation, forms an intention and acts. Having a mind is what 'conscious' means here — not a feeling, a mechanism.
⚖️What it is NOT
The neighbours this word is most often confused with, and the line between them.
Not: Consciousness
Consciousness is the property; the mind is the machinery that provides it.
Not: Prompt
The mind decides what to do; the prompt shapes how it behaves while doing it.
