Although ratings of phenomenal characteristics were comparable for future thoughts and memories, differential activation patterns emerged.
According to these philosophers, phenomena are in fact the effects of such things but those things, as trans-phenomenal or noumenal, are wholly different from those phenomena; unlike material things as the permanent possibilities of sensation, they are devoid of sensory or phenomenal characteristics.
Like Anaxagoras, the atomists consider all phenomenal objects and characteristics as emerging from the background mixture; in the case of atomism, the mix of atoms and void (Wardy 1988).
And Husserl's attempts to delineate the structure of intentionality as it is 'given' in consciousness, as well as the phenomenological productions of Sartre, can arguably be seen as devoted to laying bare to thought the deepest and most general characteristics of phenomenal consciousness, as they are found in 'directed' perception, judgment, imagination, emotion and action.
On the assumption that phenomenal consciousness is an evolved characteristic of human minds, at least, and therefore that epiphenomenalism is false, then an attempt to understand the biological functions of consciousness may provide the best chance of identifying its occurrence in different species.
Anicca, anatta (the absence of an abiding self), and dukkha ("suffering") together make up the ti-lakkhana, the three "marks" or basic characteristics of all phenomenal existence.

The fact that in us the modes of representation with those characteristics also have qualitative and phenomenal properties may reflect contingent historical facts about the particular design solution that happened to arise in our evolutionary ancestry.
A second reason for rejecting behaviorism is that some features of mentality some elements in the inner processing of persons have characteristic 'qualia' or presentationally immediate or phenomenal qualities.
According to classical behaviorism, the characteristics of my behavior toward the phenomenal light must be rejected as not being fundamental.
